Because of the close proximity to the gardens of the Bad Harzburg properties, the common columbine and the snowdrop have also settled here, although they would not naturally occur here. The population of dandelions has also increased, since the small forest area is exposed to a large amount of nutrients (especially nitrogen) in contrast to larger forest areas.
