The Forest Education Workshop in the recreational area "Pflanzgarten" is the central meeting point for environmental education offerings in the Hermeskeil city forest. In the recreational area Pflanzgarten, in addition to the Forest Education Workshop, there is a forest playground, a barbecue area with a pavilion, and the Hermeskeil Nature Exploration Trail. The forest parking lot is the starting point for several hiking and biking trails, such as to the Primstal Dam, into the Forstelbach Valley with its beaver lodges, the Saar-Hunsrück Trail, or to various Roman-Celtic archaeological sites.
The Forest Education Workshop has a covered working area where crafting activities, training sessions, or follow-ups from excursions can take place. The working area also serves as a bad weather alternative for the Hermeskeil Nature Exploration Trail, where teaching materials stored in the Forest Education Workshop can be utilized.
In the Forest Education Workshop, there is the "Nature Exploration Cart," which is available for activities on the Nature Exploration Trail and can be stocked according to the specific needs. The accessible toilet of the Forest Education Workshop is available free of charge for environmental education activities in the Hermeskeil city forest.
