Ancient oak forests, enchanted ponds, the drumming of woodpeckers during the day and the shadows of bats at night – a unique landscape and a part of the European natural heritage
The oak hornbeam forests in the Kottenforst and the Ville hills are an example for a rare and highly endangered forest habitat type in Europe. EU and NRW are funding a nature conservation project to preserve our forest biodiversity.
Do you know the Ville Forests in the Western region of Germany between Cologne and Bonn? Do you want to learn more about the natural habitats and the wildlife? Please join us for a tour through this unique forest landscape.
Because of LIFE+ the Forestry Department Rhine-Sieg-Erft and the Biological Station Bonn / Rhine-Erft put various conservation measures into action to maintain and improve the conservation status of the Ville Forests.
