The main goal of HSF in Korea, to contribute to reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula, is supported by a number of activities in South Korea, North Korea and adjacent countries. Among them are conferences, trainings, meetings in a variety of fields, among them prominently environmental issues like the protection of bio-diversity, sustainable forestry and rural development. In particular, HSF also promotes German-Korean county twinning with counties in the inter-Korean border area and the former inner-German border, like Goseong County and Bayreuth county, Yeoncheon county and Hof county and Cheolwon county and Bad Hersfeld-Rotenburg county.
