Come along and get to know the habitat of the little squirrel Ecki. He playfully shows you how important the forest and its inhabitants are for our nature.

In cooperation with Sachsenforst, a really educational path has been created, which is also very suitable for class trips and hiking days. Numerous information boards and interactive stations convey knowledge in a playful way and help children recognize and understand connections in nature.

The green classroom, a log cabin with benches and tables, can be booked through the forestry office including a guided tour and allows for nature-based outdoor lessons. The whole experience is rounded off with a tasty "Ecki Meal", which is offered by the Meiler snack bar.
