With the same volume, different types of wood also have different weights. Test the impression of the different materials on the barefoot nature trail with your eyes open and closed and determine the approximate age of a tree based on its circumference at the chronologic. If you measure the circumference of the tree with both arms and transfer this measurement to a table, you can read off the approximate age.

Semper Forest Park

Semper Forest Park - witches' forest and crippled beeches. When Semper Castle was built in Lietzow on the island of Rügen around 1920, the forest park was also created. The park, which covers around 38 hectares, is located in the Semper Heath and offers wonderful views of the large Jasmund Bodden with its high bank path. From 1963 to 1990, Semper Castle and its many outbuildings were used as a training center and recreation home for police officers. Today it is privately owned. From 2000 to 2003, the forest park was reconstructed according to the historical model by the Ostrügen Landscape Conservation Association. For the 2003 International Garden Show in Rostock, it shone in new splendor as an outdoor location. Today, the forest park with its cascading ponds, rhododendron avenue and 100-year-old oaks invites visitors to explore. A rarity are the so-called Süntel beech trees, a rare mutation of a beech tree. They are also known as "witch beeches" due to their bizarre growth.
