Oderbrueck, DEU, 19.07.2020 - Aerial view of dead spruce trees, due to bark beetle infestation. The gray silhouettes of dead spruces rise into the sky or lie wildly on top of each other. But even though many dead trees can be seen, this forest is as alive and dynamic as rarely before. In the Harz National Park bark beetles are not combated. They help to turn formerly managed forests back into natural, wild forests with a variety of structures. [automated translation]
