    Tips

    The small shelter stands directly by the road.

    My research at the Johanniskreuz Forestry Office (Elmstein Forest District) in July 2021 revealed that the original burnt beech tree, which was formerly officially designated a "natural monument," no longer exists since 1994, as it had to be felled.

    Afterwards, the "burnt beech" sign was simply hung on a younger beech tree.

    Now, "burnt beech" no longer designates a "natural monument," but simply a small local landmark and rest area on this district road in the Palatinate Forest.

      The road sign indicates a height of 524 m at the site of the fire beech. In one direction it goes towards Johanniskreuz, the other towards Iggelbach.

        A very sunny spot.
