For naturalist guides, the office <\/strong>is<\/strong> nature.<\/strong> You could call it the ultimate working place where the weather determines your schedule. No day is the same. Some of us are made for this. For ACSI FreeLife, we spoke with three German naturalist guides. Be amazed by these wonderful places in Germany.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rudolf Achtner, gorge keeper at Garmisch-Partenkirchen<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2018Nature cannot be tamed in the Partnach Gorge’<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

For the past 20 years, Rudolf Achtner has been responsible for safety in the 700-metre-long and 80-metre-deep Partnachklamm.<\/a> \u2018You experience nature in all of its beauty here. Sometimes it is peaceful, like when the sun reflects off the water in the morning. But it can also be wild and untamed. It is almost a mystical feeling to be alone in the gorge at the crack of dawn.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rudolf explains the origin of the gorge to visitors, keeps an eye on the weather forecast and makes sure that there are no rocks, branches or even entire trees blocking the paths or the flow of the water. In doing so, he protects both the gorge and hikers. \u2018If the river is blocked by an obstacle, it could cause a dangerous ground swell.\u2019 The gorge is located near Garmisch-Partenkirchen<\/a>, which Rudolf says is a wonderful holiday destination. Hiking, mountain climbing, water sports, horseback riding \u2013 you name it, you can do it all here.\u2019<\/p>\n

  Skipper Yvonne Huber,\u00a0biosphere reserve Spree Forest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

  

  \u201cThere is nothing more amazing than seeing a kingfisher skim over the water”<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

  Yvonne Huber knows the Spreewald<\/a>\u00a0and its rivers like the back of her hand. For seven years now, she has been guiding her punt through this Unesco biosphere reserve with guests on board.1,500 kilometres of waterways makes this interior delta unique in Europa. It calls for an extraordinary boat trip with Yvonne silently crossing the rivers while dressed in the traditional Sorbian-Wendish attire. Along the way, she keeps her eyes and ears open for anything that happens in the water, on the banks and in the trees. \u2018I think it\u2019s beautiful to see what the Spree Forest does with visitors. Each trip has a moment of quiet, when guests respond to the nature around them. One time it went wrong. \u2018It was raining, and I took a curve in the river too fast. There was a sudden gust of wind, I countersteered, the rudder snapped and there I was, up to my waist in water.<\/p>\n

    Forest ranger Sandra Wendt, Hainich National Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    

    \u2018Do I ever hug trees? Only to show children how big around they are\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

    Sandra Wendt\u2019s workplace is the 7,500 hectares of untamed nature of the Hainich National Park. Her work as a forest ranger is extremely diverse, varying from keeping a watchful eye on the woodpecker population (seven species are indigenous to this region) to providing visitors with information. Sandra prefers to be in the forest when it rains. \u2018Then it is so quiet, and it is a perfect time to spot animals.\u2019<\/p>\n

    Hainich<\/a>\u00a0may be the second-smallest national park in Germany, but its variety in landscapes, flora and fauna
    \nis huge. It is part of the largest continuous deciduous forest in the country and belongs to the Unesco World Heritage List. Sandra’s favourite tree is the European hornbeam. \u2018It has gnarled bark that makes it look like a tree from a fairy tale.’<\/p>\n

    Campsite tip<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Le Camping Am Tor zum Hainich<\/a>\u00a0is a quiet campsite located on the edge of the Hainich National Park. There are plenty of opportunities to hike and a great view in the direction of S\u00fcdharz.<\/p>\n
