This is the story of two conflicts. There is a conflict between two men. They are Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, two men whose families hate each other. They are out patrolling some land that they both sort of claim, and it is clear that they want to kill each other.
Then there is a conflict between the two men and nature. They are caught under a tree that falls on them in a storm. While they are under the tree, they resolve the conflict between them and agree to be friends. But the conflict with nature is still unresolved.
At the end of the story, nature looks like it is going to win because a pack of wolves comes and, it appears, is going to eat the two helpless men.
I'd say that the climax to the story comes when the two men make peace with one another. That means that the part before is the rising action and the part after is the falling action.
