No litter in the forest!

Forest protectors wanted!

We are delighted that you have come to the forest and are visiting the Walkugelbahn. Here you can play and learn a lot about the forest. You can even become a forest protector. How? It's very simple: don't leave any rubbish in the forest! Put your rubbish in a bin. Thank you very much!

Rubbish is a big problem for the forest. It stays in the forest for a long time and poses a danger to forest animals. What's more, the substances in the rubbish poison the soil, water and plants.
