"How important is the forest?" – to answer this question in as varied a way as possible, Willi Weitzel and AHA have invited various experts to the Hofbräukeller, who will bring along interesting facts about the current state of research and entertaining information for you. The program focuses on understanding the forest with all your senses and learning exciting things.

The focus is on the fascination of the forest ecosystem, the importance of biodiversity, and the influence of humans.

What would it look like if we humans did not intervene in nature?
For example, what do the animals in the forest tell us about its condition?
Which trees are more resistant than others?
What can you build with wood, or even with living trees?

There is much to discuss and, of course, to marvel at. Participation is highly encouraged, as our guests play an important role in AHA Wirtshaus-Wissen. You will be asked to ask questions, share experiences, participate, touch, guess, and test your own knowledge in short quiz rounds.

And these will be Willi's guests:
