Personally, the term "mammoth forest" seems a bit exaggerated to me, as there are a few isolated redwood trees among the other trees. Nevertheless, the path, which deviates from the usual wide paths on Sophienhöhe, was a nice little change.

The Marieneiche is a thousand-year-old pedunculate oak that is a listed building. It is also commonly called the "Decke Boom". The local carnival club named itself the "Decke Boom" after the old oak tree :))
