As early as 2014 we produced a film for the MDR about the Thuringia, a near-natural pasture farm in the north of Thuringia. Last year more photos were added to present a current portrait of this remarkable project. We want to support such sustainable concepts, make them better known and, above all, encourage imitation!

Thüringeti is located on the northern edge of the Thuringian Forest on a high plateau around the municipality of Crawinkel. Where previously only moderate grain yields were achieved, juicy green now thrives. It is the largest wild pasture project in the federal state and has covered 2700 hectares since 2004. Horses, cattle, sheep, goats and donkeys live here all year round in the open air. Biologists examined the grazing areas and the result was a sensation: through the project about 2500 animal and plant species settled here (again), which are often documented on the Red List of Endangered Species.

The first version of the documentation about the Thüringeti was released in 2014 with the Thuringian Nature Conservation Award of the Free State of Thuringia. Since 2004 the company (Agrar Crawinkel) has been certified as organic and a member of the Biokreis e.V.. Tourism offers, conferences, nature and species conservation measures, healthy food, clean water and the vocational training of young people for agriculture are the company's contributions to regional development.

There are two films on the DVD:

"The Thüringeti" (40 min.)

"On safari with Michael Succow" (15 min.)
