**Nature Connection: 90-Year-Old 'Forest Woman' Britta - Living in Harmony with Nature**

In the idyllic forest of the Bavarian highlands, Britta, the 90-year-old 'forest woman', lives her unique connection to nature. Every day, she sleeps outdoors, even in frigid temperatures as low as -15°C. Yet Britta is well protected from the elements - with a tarp that she stretches over herself like a tent, shielding her from snow and hail. This tradition was passed down to her from her father, who himself lived in the forest well into old age.

Britta's closeness to nature is evident not only in her sleeping place but also in her daily life. At night, she is visited by various animals, including her Dachshund companion Schila and even a large grass snake that helps her control the mouse population. For Britta, these wild visitors are part of her daily routine, bringing her joy and company.

Her home is surrounded by forest, and her garden is the forest itself. Since childhood, her heart has belonged to nature, and she knows every tree in her surroundings. For Britta, living in the forest signifies freedom and security - a connection she has nurtured for seven years, ever since she began to sleep outdoors.

However, Britta's life has not always been peaceful. After her home in Munich was destroyed in a bombing raid, she found refuge in her family's forest house. Even in challenging times, the forest was her sanctuary and salvation.

As a passionate breeder and long-time leader of a Dachshund club, Britta is always surrounded by animals and shares her love for nature with like-minded individuals. She and her dog Amor share a years-long hunting training bond that makes them an unstoppable team.

Despite her age, Britta remains active and fit. Her secret lies in her natural way of living and her mindful use of nature's gifts. She understands the importance of living in harmony with nature and relying on its resources.

To many, Britta is simply the 'forest woman', an inspiring role model with a strong bond to the forest and its animals. Her home is always open to visitors and friends who share her passion for nature and benefit from her wealth of experience.

Britta, the 'forest woman', has experienced and learned much in her long life. Whether caring for her Dachshunds, cleaning the roof of her house, or simply enjoying the nature around her - she remains a preserver of nature connection and a true treasure in the heart of the forest.
