Villewälder-App

Experience the oak forests and their inhabitants with your smartphone.

Villewälder app enables everyone to experience the oak forest through their smartphone.

Our oak forests are full of life. But the forest dwellers are often difficult to discover. We hear their calls or notice a rustling in the leaves.

But mostly the animals have already disappeared before we can take a closer look at them. With the Villewälder app you can observe and get to know the forest dwellers in their natural environment. There is also a lot of information about the protected European oak mixed forests in the Kottenforst and in the Ville.

You can explore the oak forest at three locations between Bonn and Brühl with the Villewälder app. The destinations can be reached on foot using a digital map and GPS. You will find four stations at each of the locations, which are marked with information boards.
