Rostock becomes the forest capital: 1000 foresters celebrate in 2026!

In Rostock, where forest and sea join hands, a special occasion will be celebrated next year. The state advisory board of the German Forestry Association recently gathered for a specialist meeting in the Hanseatic city, which is described as a festival for the entire city. Matthias Fromm, Rostock's tourism director, pointed out that the connection between forest and water is not only historical, but also kept alive. The event will take place on June 3, 2026 and expects around 1,000 foresters from all over Germany. Rostock.de reports that the meeting will honor the region's long history of forestry and tourism, which now stretches back over 200 years.

Particularly revealing is the historical connection, which began more than 200 years ago, when forester Hermann Friedrich Becker was the first known bather in Warnemünde. This shows how closely the development of tourism and forestry are interwoven - a legacy that Rostock continues to cultivate.

Diverse supporting program

The conference offers an attractive supporting program: In addition to meetings and seminars in the town hall, there is also a visit to the WAL beach bar and a forester party in the M.A.U. club planned. There are also excursions and the accompanying program under the motto “Experience the forest in Rostock”, which is intended for both guests and locals. The planned activities include a forest mobile, a forest Olympics, a forest concert in the Kurhausgarten and exhibitions in the town hall. Rostock.de emphasizes that the conference represents not only professional exchange, but also a celebration for the city.

In order to do justice to the special event, around 500 hotel rooms have already been reserved. The President of the German Forestry Association, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schraml, emphasizes the importance of Rostock as a conference location and highlights the region, which symbolizes the harmony between forest, water and coast.

A celebration for everyone

The preparations for this big event show that Rostock, as the forest capital for 2026, will not only be a highlight for foresters, but also for the entire city community. The festival promises not only academic discussions, but also an opportunity for everyone to discover and experience the fascinating world of forests. If the locals and guests play an active role, this will further enrich Rostock's already vibrant culture.

What is experienced on the Baltic Sea has a tradition and is awaited with great anticipation. Everything also fits together in terms of technology: so that everything runs smoothly, we should also make sure that our devices function optimally. If you have problems with the audio drivers, you can refer to Microsoft Support to take the correct steps to update or uninstall.

Be it in the forest of Rostock or at a digital event - the right connection is the be-all and end-all. So 2026 will be a year that could go down in the history books - as the year in which Rostock became the forest capital.
