Bergedorf wood
The Bergedorfer Gehölz is a forest of around two square kilometers between the Hamburg district of Bergedorf and the Holstein community of Wentorf , with the state border running through the middle of the wood. The forest is limited in the north by the Bille river and in the east by the Werntorfer Feldmark . In the west and south, the Bergedorf villa district borders the forest.
The wood, known as the Gestüde (Middle Low German for bushes) in the 17th century , originally consisted mainly of an oak forest. Today it consists of some spruce , but a lot of hardwood such as beech , birch , linden and oak . The terrain is quite steep for northern German conditions, as it extends from the Billeniederung to the Hohe Geest . The highest elevations are the Fuchsberg on the Wentorf side and the Doktorberg in the Bergedorf part of the forest. Both "mountains" are about 50 meters high. A 1,000 meter long toboggan run was laid out on the Doktorberg in the 1930s.
Up until 2007 there was a large wild boar enclosure ("Sauschlucht") in the woods as an attraction, but this was demolished for cost reasons. But there is a natural playground that was completely renovated in 2008 and a 1 ½ kilometer running track.
It has been known since the summer of 2008 that the " hermit " lives in an old oak tree in the Bergedorf wood. It is a very rare and endangered beetle - also known as the " Russian beetle ".
