The forest has been used as a resource since medieval times and continues to shape the landscape today. Its past is closely tied to the economic development of the surrounding communities.

The forest area regularly hosts nature education programs that teach visitors about local wildlife species and environmental preservation techniques.

Access is available from several entry points with parking areas near the trailheads. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be aware that weather conditions can affect path conditions.

The summit offers specific observation points where hikers can spot native bird species and examine the geological formations of Sauerland.
