Latest sound measurement 2020-05-25: Average values between 36-44 dB (A). Light breeze in tree canopies, bird song, scales along the beach path. Some tips during the visit: Stay offline - turn off the phone silently and be off when visiting the forest. Value the moment - release all everyday thoughts to be present here and now. Walk slowly - slow in and walk slower than normal on the path outdoors. Listen - nature is almost never completely silent, and its sound often has a restful effect. Smell and feel - each forest has its own scents, which change with the season and weather. Feel the rough bark or the soft moss.

Quiet locations in an area mean that the experience of desirable sounds strongly outweighs the impact of disturbing noise. In quiet places, at least 80 % of the visitors in an area after the visit should consider that they have experienced a good sound environment lower than 45 dB (A). Here one can be surrounded by nature's own sounds; such as the waves from the lake, a breeze in the foliage or bird song.
