--- title: "Trees, wildlife, and forest at Wellersberg" url: "https://www.siegen-wittgenstein.info/en/tour/trees-wildlife-and-forest-at-wellersberg" description: "The circular route around Siegen's Wellersberg offers a lot. Various tree species, a wildlife enclosure, and magnificent views over the \"Krönchenstadt\" make the small route a real experience. For some years now, the city of Siegen has been transforming the approximately 100-hectare animal park from the 17th century into an \"Adventure Forest.\" Variety is now provided by 15 stations that can be explored on two circular routes through the animal park. A highlight for all visitors, young and old, is certainly the approximately six-hectare fallow deer enclosure on Kutschenweg. Thanks to a feeding machine on the viewing platform, the fallow deer can be lured to the fence and even petted. The hiking agency RothaarTouren offers a guided hike on the topic of \"trees.\" Trees with crown and root system are the archetype of the connection between heaven and earth, forests are the fur of planet Earth. In all parts they serve humans and animals as food, medicine, building material and as the foundation of culture. We can appreciate trees better when we know their diversity, beauty, and healing power. A small excerpt of this diversity is conveyed during the guided tour.
