About 900 square kilometers in size is the Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald Nature Park. Within it, the forest area around Unterheimbach (municipality of Bretzfeld) is the largest contiguous one. When nature park guide Petra Kuch immerses herself in this forest area, she begins with a small meditation: "We close our eyes, leave outside what occupies us in everyday life, hang our worries on a tree, open our ears and listen to the sounds around us, smell and breathe in the scents."
