Best Hikes to Ancient Trees in Schlosspark Paffendorf

Tips

  • The 7.5 hectare castle park, designed as a landscape garden, is home to around 180 different types of shrubs and trees, including old sequoias, ginkgoes and plane trees. A forest teaching garden gives an impression of the flora of the Tertiary.
    Descendants of primeval trees, bushes and moor plants from other parts of the world provide visitors with a living picture of the Tertiary in the truest sense of the word.
    Two 15-million-year-old sequoia stumps flank the entrance to the castle park as remnants of primeval flora. Their high natural tannic acid content prevented decomposition for millions of years, so that they could be found in an open pit mine in good condition.
