    Tips

    The existing forest hut belonged to the former state tree nursery.
    The remaining meadow was the forest garden in which the plants were transplanted into the forest after 4 years of cultivation.
    Not only are the sequoias interesting, but also the two yews in between.
    Warning: everything is poisonous to both the yew trees!

      The giant sequoia trees were discovered in the USA in 1852.
      The nature-loving Wilhelm 1. is said to have been so enthusiastic about reports and travelers that in 1864, shortly before his death, he ordered sequoia seeds for US $ 90.
      The king had ordered a solder (15g) of seeds.
      The Americans translated the crowd with "a lot". This corresponds to 470g.
      This weight was then seeds for 100,000 trees.
      About 8000 trees could be made from the seeds.
      These were then schooled and distributed to all forest offices in Württemberg.
      The trees in brown are likely to have originated from a subsequent generation.

        Until 1830, the Braunst forest (formerly Brunst) was a private forest owned by the people of Oberstetten with 105 owners.
        In 1830 the state of Württemberg bought this forest.
        In the contract it says:
        There were many disputes about hunting justice, including poaching with Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, Rosenberg and Hatzfeld-Haltenbergstetten and Schrozberg.
        Each community law got 1100 fl.
        The building society made up 3,000 fl, from which each owner of community rights gets 40 trunks a 11.15 m for building a house and 30 trunks for building a scouring building.

        Supposedly, some people from Oberstetten drank away the income from the sale of the forest.
