Liming

Forest liming using helicopters is taking place in the Ottomühle, Berggießhübel and Gohrisch forest districts approx. from 21 September to 9 October 2026, or for longer if necessary, depending on weather conditions. Forest areas in the Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel area will be closed, the closures will be adjusted according to the areas currently being treated. For safety reasons, you must under no circumstances enter the closed areas, as there is a risk posed by helicopter operations and the dropping of lime!
