Thüringer Wald Biosphere Reserve

Großbreitenbach, Germany · built 1979

The Biosphere Reserve Thuringian Forest, until 2016 known as the Biosphere Reserve Vessertal-Thuringian Forest, forms a central part of the much larger Thuringian Forest. In 1979, the Biosphere Reserve Vessertal was established as one of the first UNESCO biosphere reserves in Germany. The biosphere protection was expanded in 1990, when the Thuringian Forest Nature Park was founded, and again in 2018. It currently covers an area of 337 km2. The Biosphere Reserve Thuringian Forest is crossed by the famous German hiking trail ‘Rennsteig’.
