We use what we find in the forest to build a rain and windproof shelter. We also learn a bit about food and drinking water production.

During the summer vacations, the municipality of Simmerath once again organizes the popular forest experience days for children and young people. Whether it's the forest at night, the animals of the forest or edible plants, there are lots of exciting things for young and young-at-heart explorers to discover.

Forester Jörg Melchior from the Rureifel-Jülicher Börde Regional Forestry Office leads young and old through the forest on three-hour themed walks during the forest adventure days.
