Descrizione
The Irrhain is a small but ecologically valuable oak-hornbeam forest with historical significance. Characterised by old trees, dense undergrowth, and abundant deadwood, it offers a natural forest structure that supports a range of woodland bird species. For birdwatchers, the Irrhain provides a peaceful setting with opportunities to observe typical forest birds.
Commonly seen or heard species include Picchio rosso maggiore, Picchio verde, Picchio rosso minore, and occasionally Picchio nero. Other typical inhabitants are tits, Scricciolo, Pettirosso, Rampichino comune, Luì verde, and Capinera. Due to the dense vegetation, birds are often easier to hear than to see, but patient observers will be rewarded with interesting sightings.
In addition to its regular species, the Irrhain occasionally hosts rarer birds. Notably, the Picchio rosso mezzano has been recorded here, relying on mature oak trees. Also Picchio cenerino can be seen with some luck. The Rigogolo may be heard singing high in the canopy during summer. Allocco are sometimes audible at dusk. During migration periods in spring and autumn, transient species such as Balia nera, Luì grosso, or Codirosso may briefly appear.
Dettagli
Accesso
The Irrhain is located east of Kraftshof village near Nuremberg. Cars can be parked in front of the Friedhof Kraftshof approx. 500m to the west (click P on the map for directions), then it is a short walk to the forest. Public transport: The number 31 Bus travels from the northern part of Nuremburg city and goes through Kraftshof. The bus stop is marked 1 on the map.
The area can only be explored on foot. Bikes can be locked on the edge of the forest. Small, winding paths invite you to explore; the marked trail on the map (2 km) is just one example. This path also circles some of the surrounding farmland between the forest and the village.

NoInformazioni aggiuntive
The Irrhain is more than just a forest – it is also a site of cultural and historical importance. In the 17th century, it was established by the Nuremberg literary society Pegnesischer Blumenorden as a retreat and symbolic landscape. Remnants of this era, including memorial stones and poetic references, can still be found throughout the woodland. Today, the Irrhain combines nature, silence, and literary history, offering a unique place for reflection, quiet walks, and birdwatching.
There is also a 300+ year old Pedunculate Oak tree just 200m south of the forest (marked 2 on the map). More information you find in the links below.
