Waldhaus Freiburg is an environmental education facility located in Freiburg im Breisgau. It was established in 2005 as a means to compensate for the loss of approximately 23 hectares of forest due to the construction of the Eichelbuck landfill in 1970. The facility aims to educate people about the ecosystem of the forest and promote sustainable use of forests.
The Waldhaus offers a range of activities for the general public, including workshops, courses, and seminars. In addition, it hosts cultural events such as concerts and theater performances. These activities and events provide an opportunity for visitors to learn about the forest ecosystem and sustainable practices in an engaging and interactive way.
The Waldhaus is a modern wooden building that represents the transition from the city to the forest. The ground floor features a wide glass front that opens up to the Günterstäler meadows and the city beyond. The upper floor houses the exhibition area and an additional seminar room. The building's design and location provide visitors with a unique perspective on the surrounding landscape.
In the city forest directly adjacent to the Waldhaus, visitors can explore various themed paths. The Sculpture Path Waldmenschen, created by Thomas Rees, features 18 figures or groups of figures. In November 2014, the Mushroom Teaching Path Mycelium was opened, which was also designed by Thomas Rees. These paths offer an engaging way to learn about the forest and its inhabitants.
