Photo spots
===========

 

Keeping an eye on forest development in the Harz
------------------------------------------------

In the Harz region, 13 photo spots currently invite you to closely observe the changes taking place in the forest. The aim is to make the development of the forests and their climate-related changes visible over a longer period of time. In the medium term, the changes in forest development are to be documented in this way. The photo spots, designed as information boards, were set up by the , the  the  and the , and financed by the .

Each of the boards has an opening that focuses attention on a section of the landscape where the climate-related changes in the forest are particularly visible. Interested visitors are encouraged to take photos through the opening and post them on the  using the **hashtag #derwaldruft**.
The resulting “photo series” allows people to visually track plant growth and natural dynamics over the coming years, even for guests who don’t visit the region regularly.
