Wood production
In normal years, 7,000 to 7,500 cubic meters of wood are harvested and sold in the municipal forest. This means that only 80% of the growth is harvested. In addition to a wide range of standard logs, we also offer timber buyers some truly special products: mighty beeches from the mountain forest or flawless oaks that are in demand as far away as China.
We manage our forest strictly in accordance with the FSC and PEFC standards in single-stem use. Predominantly in permanent forest management with a preference for oak.
