Tips
The circle consists of 24 standard trees (alternating apple and pear). This number is supposed to symbolize the hours of the day. In between, faster-growing tree species such as plum or medlar were planted. The diameter of the tree circle is 80 meters, that of the outer circle of trees is 100 meters.The center is a 6.5 meter high granite obelisk with sundials.Rails of the former narrow-gauge railway through the Kleine Erlauftal and cannon balls from the cannon factory in Gußwerk were used to indicate significant times in the year: summer solstice, equinox, winter solstice.
