Saarbrücken
Jungle adventure in front of the big city
Forest as it once was - the primeval forest experience right at the gates of Saarbrücken. Find out what happens when you leave a forest to its own devices in the jungle just outside the city! Fallen trees, washed-out paths, tree mosses, colourful mushrooms, flowers and bizarre lichens overgrow the signs of civilisation – a contrast to everyday life with lots of fun and adventure.
Whether big or small, the jungle has something to offer for everyone. A variety of hiking opportunities with different thematic focuses are aimed at all age groups: fairytale hiking for the little ones, visiting the bats, hiking for the elderly, hiking with dogs and much more.
Behind the "Experience the path together" is a real treasure trove of activities: true to the jungle philosophy, various events throughout the year offer the opportunity to actively deal with the topic of forests.
The new forest information centre with a communication and exhibition building as well as three adventure pavilions provides interactive information about the special features of the primeval forest habitat. The information centre is also used for exciting lectures, readings, discussion forums, workshops and festivals and, last but not least, for school and extracurricular environmental education. Little naturalists can accompany Schröder on his adventures in the jungle with the radio play app "Finde Turid".
Culture is not neglected here either: from literary meetings to music and comedy to festivals and celebrations, everything is offered throughout the year at the Scheue Neuhaus. The Ministry of the Environment, NABU Saarland and the SaarForst Landesbetrieb wish you a lot of fun and lots of new impressions in the jungle at the gates of the city!
