Guided Story

Can you hear that gentle trickling sound? It's the Asbecke stream flowing right through this forest. As you walk, look up—those are bat boxes providing homes for the nocturnal residents. Pretty cool, right? Behind you on the mining trail, you'll find traces of the area's mining past. Those dips are old mine shafts, remnants of a time when coal was king here. Look closely, and every path tells a story. And if you listen carefully, the wind might share some of the forest’s secrets with you. Enjoy the peacefulness that seems almost tangible here.
