Sachsenwald, Forest area in District of Duchy of Lauenburg, Germany.

The Sachsenwald extends over 68 square kilometers of land near Hamburg, containing diverse tree species and extensive hiking paths throughout its territory.

In 1871, Wilhelm I granted the Sachsenwald forest to Otto von Bismarck as recognition for his role in establishing modern Germany.

The forest landscape holds multiple historical structures and pathways that reflect the architectural influences of different ruling houses through centuries.

Visitors can access designated parking areas and follow marked trails for activities such as hiking, cycling, and nature observation throughout the forest.

The forest contains a secret weapons depot named Daphne, constructed in 1982 by the Red Army Faction for storing firearms.
