I’m Irish, and we have very few forests there. I wanted to fly to Germany this autumn, to seek solitude in nature. Mummelsee was a place that I had in mind, and the surrounding area in Schwarzwald, but idk. I love hiking, endless trees, animals, etc.
Where is your favourite place to venture out in the forest?
Thanks!! ❤️

My favorite place in recent times was Schierke, Harz
I know this is off topic but Waldeinsamkeit is one of those words where I’ve only ever heard English speakers claim that it’s one of those words Germans have to describe highly specific things. I’ve never actually heard a single German use that word.
Bayerischer Wald is very nice, actually every season of the year
Sachsenwald near Hamburg
The Göhrde forest in Lower Saxony
Elm-Lappwald Nature Park in Lower Saxony
waldeinsamkeit not so much, but waldbaden, forrest bathing
As I have the beauty of the Bayerwald around me, I only leave my property through the backdoor and here we are 😉
The [Rhön](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rh%C3%B6n_Mountains) – some mid-range mountains in the middle of Germany. It’s called “Land of open distance”.
You have forests but they often open to a great view. There a lot, well singposted looproads.
And as soon as you walked away from the parking area you are pretty alone.
