This natural climate protection function harmonizes here with modern energy production: Since 2020, five Vestas V 126-3.3 MW wind turbines have been generating clean electricity at the “Lieger Wald Wind Farm.” In 2023, the trail was equipped with four informative signs that provide interesting facts about wind and solar energy. The trail impressively demonstrates how the energy transition is succeeding locally and how the phase-out of coal- and nuclear-powered electricity is being accelerated. Plans are already underway to expand the wind farm with additional turbines.
