Young deciduous forest in front of the dead spruce forest glowing in the evening sun; the young deciduous trees vary in height and thus in age - no one planted them, nature brought them forth itself; evening of 02.08.2021... 

Arriving at Sägemühlenberg near the Oder Valley, I reach an area at its summit where an entire forest section has been clear-cut, likely because the trees were severely weakened by the recent long dry spells and drought phases of the last two summers, making them easy prey for bark beetles; shot taken on the morning of 19.08.2019... 

Since an entire section of forest has been cleared here on the Sägemühlenberg and is therefore missing, I find an excellent viewpoint here: In front of me in the valley lies the Odertal with the opposite mountains and their steep slopes, over which, to the right of the center of the image, the Braunlage Wurmberg with its new observation tower peeks out. You can also see how many trees on the slopes and ridges above the Odertal have already turned reddish-brown and are therefore dying, a catastrophe that spreads like a relentless and unstoppable wave from the core zone of the National Park from the Hohneklippen in the east across Königsberg, Achtermannshöhe, Bruchberg, between Torfhaus, Oderbrück, and Königskrug to the "Auf-dem-Acker" mountain, where hardly any healthy spruce forest remains.
