Some of the largest trees in Rhineland-Palatinate can be found in southwest Darscheid. Some of the huge Douglas fir trees in the Lehwald are more than 50 meters high. You can find details on the information board during the hike.

A very nice presentation board. Also, make them aware of how long such a tree needs to grow until it reaches that size, and then think about what human beings think of in those decades to prevent that growth. It's nice to look after the trees in the Eifel

The giant trees in Lehwald are now 140 years old.
It is quite impressive to walk past these giants.
The HeimatSpur path of biodiversity also leads a section through this giant tree forest.
