Therefore, during excursions in this national park, you can meet a variety of representatives of the forest fauna: martens, black storks, bats, wild cats. By the way, a wild cat inhabited these territories long before a man appeared here. These are not gregarious predators and no more than 3 dozen wild cats live in the Hainich National Park.

The most important attraction of the park is the millennial oak, which bears the name "Beggar's Oak". A legend is associated with this name, it says that in the hollow of an old tree people once left alms for wandering monks. Over time, the hollow became open-ended and quite voluminous. There is also a “treetop path”, which is 44 meters above the ground. Also, the park administration has developed many excursions.
