desert forest

These photos were taken in the north of Black Forest/Germany. The Lotharpfad is a nature trail in the nature reserve Schliffkopf. The name of the trail goes back to the storm Lothar of december 26th 1999, which destroyed the forrest here with wind speed up to 120 mph. After the storm the forest service decided to leave this area to themselves to be able to study the recovery of nature.

Diese Fotos entstanden am Lotharpfad im n�rdlichen Schwarzwald. Der Lotharpfad ist ein Walderlebnis- und Lehrpfad im Naturschutzgebiet Schliffkopf. Der Name des Sturmwurferlebnispfads geht zur�ck auf den Orkan Lothar, der am 26. Dezember 1999 mit Windgeschwindigkeiten bis zu 200 km/h hier eine breite Schneise in den Wald riss. Nach dem Sturm beschlossen die Naturschutz- und Forstverwaltung, die 10 Hektar gro�e Sturmwurffl�che des Lotharpfades als Bannwald sich selbst zu �berlassen, um die nat�rliche Regeneration langfristig beobachten zu k�nnen.
