Guided Story

Take a deep breath. Can you smell the fresh scent of pine needles? Here in Murellenschlucht and Schanzenwald, you're enveloped by a vibrant slice of nature, protected since 1993. Look up, see how the tree canopies sway gently in the breeze. This place holds a rich history. Just a short walk to the east stands a memorial that recalls the grim past of the Nazi military justice. But here, where you stand, nature has reclaimed its space, and the calming bird songs speak of renewal and peace. Glance southeast, and you might sense the presence of the Waldbühne, where in summer, the sounds of music mingle with the whispers of the forest. Let the quiet wash over you and take a moment to leave the city's rush behind.
