    On the site of the former hunting lodge stands a huge sequoia tree with a height of approx. 37 meters and the thickest trunk diameter in Germany.

    Here in the garden of the Old Forester's House stands the thickest sequoia tree in Germany.
    Due to a growth on the lower trunk, the tree has grown to a considerable size.
