Hiking

The property with the hut of the ForstBW and the Wellingtonie in front of it has a small piece of fence at the front, but not all around. The wooden benches and tables at the barbecue area are partly very weathered. And at least there is a waste paper basket on the site that you can and should use when you are already there and have to dispose of hiking waste.

A Wellingtonie is right on the path a few more behind the clearing.

Hiking

Since the mid-19th century, redwoods in Central Europe have also been planted as (rare) park trees, mostly in spacious English landscaped gardens.
The cones of the giant sequoia trees open only after a forest fire. After many of the other competing plants are burned, the seeds can germinate undisturbed in the nutrient-rich ash layer. The giant sequoia can grow very old and grow enormously in width.
