Top of the trees

There are 16 national parks in Germany, but Hainich National Park is the only one in the central state of Thuringia. One of the main objectives of this park is the protection of a native beech forest that is part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing. A treetop path allows visitors to enjoy a bird's eye view of the forest. The 530-meter-long wooden walkway winds along the tops of towering trees and spirals upwards to an observation tower. Along the walk, there is information about the park's flora and fauna – thousands of animal species live in the forest, including wildcats, bats, and woodpeckers.

树梢

德国有16个国家公园，但海尼克国家公园是中部图林根州唯一的国家公园。该公园的主要目标之一是保护作为联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录一部分的原生山毛榉林。树梢小径让游客可以鸟瞰森林。这条530米长的木制走道蜿蜒在参天大树的顶端，盘旋向上，形成了一座观景塔。沿着这条小路，有关于公园动植物的信息——森林里生活着数千种动物，包括野猫、蝙蝠和啄木鸟。
