Even in the rain the woods can be fun
The Waldfest in Oberursel traditionally takes place on the last Saturday of the school holidays, which in this year fell on the 12th of August. Regular visitors will have found lots of familiar faces and activities from previous years. Bernd Peppler and Liisa Inkinen were there with their birds of prey “Ukko” the eagle owl and “Pekko” the harris hawk. There were stands to learn about bees, and nature quiz and of course the pond observations. There were guided tours through the woods, as well as coffee, cakes, salads and the barbeque.
