• Grumsin: The demarcation of Grumsin
predominantly follows the border of the
core area of the Schorfheide-Chorin
Biosphere Reserve, which was designated
in 1990.
• Hainich: The demarcation in Hainich
follows the distribution of the best-
preserved beech forests with old-growth
stands.
• Kellerwald: In Kellerwald, the border
was established taking into account the
specific qualities of the component part,
such as the high relief energy, the disjointed
occurrence of small primeval-forest
like steep slopes, and the spatial distribution
of valuable old beech forests.
