Designated as a nature reserve in 1939 with the number 2,026 and a size of 14 hectares! It bears the same name as a protected forest area!

Location: The protected area is around 500 meters north of the district of Kälberbronn in the municipality of Pfalzgrafenweiler. It is located in the natural area of the Black Forest edge plates and is part of the FFH area no. 7516-341 Freudenstadt Heckengäu.

Description: The fir trees occurring in the area reach heights of up to 51 m, diameter at breast height of over 1.40 m and volume of over 40 m³. The beeches also attain considerable dimensions. The trees are 250-300 years old and the firs are among the oldest and strongest in Germany. According to the assessment, most of the giant trees were felled in the 1920s, but the area was still considered worthy of protection.

Protective purpose: The fir-beech forest community, which has become rare in the Black Forest, is to be protected.

THE BANNWALD

The protected forest, which was also designated under the name Große Tannen by decree of the Freiburg forestry department of October 10, 1989, has a size of 15.26 hectares. It bears the protection area number 100051. The protection purpose of the protective forest is to ensure the uninfluenced development of a beech-fir forest ecosystem in the Black Forest area with its animal and plant species and to ensure the scientific observation of the development. The Bannwald is almost congruent with the nature reserve.

Excerpt from pfalzgrafenweiler.de
...The "Große Tannen" forest reserve near Kälberbronn is well-known, where extraordinarily mighty silver fir and beech trees grow on 14 hectares of state forest. Up to 51 meters high and up to a single trunk of 34 fm. The tallest fir tree in Germany was 55 meters high in Kälberbronn until the Lothar storm in 1999. There are other giant fir trees not far from the Waldsägmühle.
The strongest red beech reaches a height of 41 meters, has a diameter of 1.60 meters at breast height and a trunk capacity of 21 cubic meters. The strongest pine in the hamlet of Wald is in the Bösingen district, not far from the Mantelberg ruins. It is 33 meters high, has a diameter of 0.85 meters at breast height and has a trunk volume of 8 cubic metres. This pine was resinated at the beginning of our century.

Pure nature. Very beautiful and interesting. Unfortunately, some forest paths were closed due to forestry work.
