We will explore the forest with the camera in search of special, preferably unusual motifs. If necessary, there will be a short introduction to the basic elements of photography. Equipment: A camera (preferably a bridge, SLR or system camera) is required for participation, a cell phone camera is not sufficient. Tripod, macro lens or lenses may be useful accessories.

We will walk off the beaten track and cover a distance of approx. two kilometers. A certain degree of "off-road fitness" is absolutely essential for participation, so please make sure you wear suitable clothing and sturdy shoes.

In the event of continuous rain, strong winds or other extreme weather conditions, the event may have to be canceled at short notice.

We explore the Rambach forest district by e-bike. From the sports field, we head uphill through the forest towards Platte and back to Rambach. Along the way, we stop every now and then to take a closer look at the forest in a changing climate.

The route is approx. 15 kilometers at a leisurely pace. The event is canceled in case of heavy rain.

Wiesbaden's water supply is based on four pillars, one of which is the Taunus extraction facilities. In addition to seepage galleries and shallow tunnels, four deep tunnels were also mined at the end of the 19th century. In order to get an impression of how the deep tunnels are managed and how the drinking water for Wiesbaden is provided, one tunnel (Schläferskopfstollen) with the associated waterworks (WW Klosterbruch) has been opened for a tour. The formation of the tunnels, the treatment and storage of the drinking water as well as the management of water distribution and quality assurance are explained.

The guided tours last approx. 1 to 1.5 hours and take place in groups of five to 20 people (adults) and for school classes of up to 25 children by arrangement.

The forest has many health-promoting and beneficial effects for body, mind and soul. Spending time in the forest has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, is relaxing, lowers stress levels and boosts our immune system. We want to experience the beneficial effects of the forest for ourselves on a forest walk, find peace, experience the forest with all our senses and absorb the beauty and fascination of nature.

We will walk a distance of one to two kilometers off the beaten track and stop at various places. A certain level of "off-road fitness" is required to take part, please also make sure you wear appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes. We will certainly be sitting on the ground at our forest pool (cushions are available). It cannot be ruled out that you may come across a spider or a tick. Please take this into account when registering.

The historic funicular takes you up Wiesbaden's local mountain. During the hike through the naturally managed city forest, Dr. Claudia Gallikowski and Ulrich Kaiser provide information about the history of the Neroberg and Wiesbaden's drinking water production. The trail leads to Taunus streams, forest meadows, interesting geological formations and finally via the Rabengrund nature reserve to the historic Leichtweißhöhle cave.

From there, the historic funicular takes you up Wiesbaden's local mountain with a fantastic view of Wiesbaden and the Rhine Valley. During the subsequent hike through the naturally managed Wiesbaden city forest, which was named "Forest Area of the Year 2025", Dr. Claudia Gallikowski and Ulrich Kaiser provide information about the history of the Neroberg and Wiesbaden's drinking water production. The trail leads to near-natural Taunus streams, idyllic forest meadows, interesting geological formations and finally via the Rabengrund nature reserve to the historic Leichtweißhöhle cave.
