Die Dämmerung ist eine besondere Zeit im Wald. Man hat das Gefühl, dass im Wald Ruhe einkehrt. Wahrscheinlich beruht dieser Eindruck darauf, dass die Vogelstimmen nach und nach verschwinden. Aber im Wald herrscht natürlich keine Ruhe, denn nun beginnt für viele Tiere die eigentlich aktive Tageszeit.
Evening walk
After dinner, if you feel like it, head out into the woods again, which everyone is pretty familiar with by now.
Dusk is a special time in the forest. You get the feeling that the forest is quiet. This impression is probably due to the fact that the birds' voices gradually disappear. But, of course, there is no silence in the forest, because now begins the actual active time of day for many animals.
We interrupt the walk with a short stop. Each member of the group goes off by himself for a while, trying to take in the special atmosphere of the forest at this time of day. After about fifteen minutes, we reconvene and report on our experiences. In particular, we want to compare how the forest "performed" during the day and what kind of "face" it shows now.
Forest object story On the way back, we look for an object that reminds us of something or for which a story can be made up and told.
Late in the evening around the campfire these stories can then be told.
Forest Artists
To create a proper forest atmosphere around the campfire later, we all dress up as fantasy forest creatures. The disguise consists exclusively of forest material. Depending on how much energy we still have, we make almost unrecognizable forest sculptures out of ourselves. To still find enough forest material, it should not be too dark, otherwise use flashlight.
