    Hiking

    Until it collapsed in October 1990, the Hölzlekönigin (Queen of Trees), a mighty silver fir, stood on this site, 42 meters tall and 4.8 meters across. The approximately 300-year-old tree had a wood volume of approximately 40 cubic meters. Even after 35 years, its remains can still be seen. Its old wood now provides a habitat for many microorganisms, insects, and birds.

    If you continue here, you will come directly to the Schwenninger Moos.

    There used to be a 400 year old tree here. Now a sign commemorates him.
