Mirker Hain, Forest park in Uellendahl-Katernberg district, Wuppertal, Germany.

The 20-hectare forest features numerous springs, streams, and ponds, with tall beech trees creating open spaces covered in grass and dark holly bushes.

The Elberfelder Beautification Association established Mirker Hain in 1879 under landscape gardener Vincentz's plans, with August von der Heydt leading the development.

The park contains the Norwegian wooden house, transported from the 1900 Paris Expo, representing the first documented prefabricated house globally.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, a children's playground, benches, bridges, and enjoy refreshments at Café Pujalu in the adjacent Fuchspark.

The Vogelsangbach ravine exposes protected marine layers from Devonian and Carboniferous periods, providing valuable geological insights.
