Sachsenwald, Forest area in District of Duchy of Lauenburg, Germany.
Sachsenwald is a large forest near Hamburg featuring beech and oak trees along with diverse plant life throughout its woodland. The area is crisscrossed by numerous walking routes that connect different parts of the landscape.
The forest was given to Otto von Bismarck in 1871 by Kaiser Wilhelm I as recognition for his role in founding modern Germany. This gift set the beginning of a new chapter in the land's history.
The forest landscape holds multiple historical structures and pathways that reflect the architectural influences of different ruling houses through centuries.
Parking areas are available at several locations for easy access to different parts of the forest. The paths are marked and suitable for walking, cycling, and wildlife watching in most weather conditions.
This forest remained in private hands for many decades and was less known to the general public until portions opened to visitors. Over time it became a favored destination for people seeking outdoor recreation near Hamburg.
