Rangers in the Black Forest – more than just conservationists

Feldberg, the Wutach gorge and Schliffkopf are just some of the unique nature protection areas in the Black Forest, where rangers keep the balance between the needs of visitors and the needs of plants and animals for protection. The Wutach gorge is one of the favourite hiking routes in the Black Forest, mainly from spring to autumn.

Nature protection centres on Schliffkopf and Feldberg invite visitors become better acquainted with rare animals and plants.
The rangers’ task is not just to keep and maintain nature. A fence around the protected areas and “keep out” signs would be much simpler. What they are trying to do is to sensitise us to nature and all things natural in the dialogue with hikers and walkers, mountain bikers and skiers.

Telling both visitors and locals how to keep and safeguard the ancient landscape heritage and how to reconcile man and nature – this is the varied and challenging job of the three Black Forest rangers.

Reminding dog-owners that their dog must be kept on a leash, or pointing out to youngsters the impact that lighting a campfire at the edge of the forest has on rare plants is also part of their sterner duties. What the rangers need is a great deal of idealism and love of nature to create harmony between man and nature.

The exhibitions in both nature protection centres Feldberg (southern Black Forest) and Ruhestein (northern Black Forest) give insights into the varied and multi-faceted cultural landscapes of the Black Forest.

The centres also organise guided nature tours for youths and adults.
