Walk "Flussabwärts Denken - Shore"

The shore (Ufer) is the very embodiment of diversity, a space where encounters resonate. Shores signal the presence of water. Without shores, there is no land; without shores, there is no river. The shore is a unique ecosystem, a threatened region, a neglected zone. What narratives block our view of unknown shores? And how did the fertile soil that nourishes us come to be in the first place?

With these questions, Anita Idel and Torsten Schäfer take the stage. She, an agricultural expert and mediator between water, soil, humans, and animals, speaks about co-evolution between large herbivores and grasses, as well as the importance of microorganisms in cow saliva for humus formation; he, a wilderness educator and professor of journalism, speaks about the forest-dwelling salmon and rivers as living beings.
