Around 1900, farmers steadily increased their cultivation areas in order to be able to feed the growing population in the Ruhr area. At the same time, in order to protect rare animal species such as the moor frog and some dragonfly species, some of these areas were placed under nature protection and designated as the "Kletterpoth". This area was one of the first nature reserves in NRW:

The starting point of the biparcours is the Kirchhellener Heide with its large forest playground and the Heidhof, which Werner Gahlen and his colleagues take care of. Here are tips on what you can do with plants from the wayside... and, above all, which ones taste really good.

The biparcours offers many interesting tasks and information about the history of the heath and its inhabitants. Clever tips and tricks from herbal expert Gahlen transform the ordinary walk in the forest into an exciting and instructive experience.
