    Tips

    April 24, 2024

    The forest garden was created in the 17th century during the time of the Electorate of Mainz. But even in the Nassau period (1803-1866), exotic species, avenue and fruit trees as well as sweet chestnuts and ornamental trees were raised, researched and delivered to the surrounding area, including to the castle park in Wiesbaden-Biebrich. taunus-nachrichten.de/koenigstein/nachrichten/koenigstein/alte-forstgartengefuehrter-spaziergang-id143317.html
    Unfortunately, the thick blue Atlas cedar has now also been sawn down after it fell over. 😥
