    Hiking

    The giant sequoia (Wellingtonie) is a landmark of Wermelskirchen and at over 26m the tallest naturally grown Christmas tree.
    Thursday afternoon after Totensonntag the tree shines in the Christmas season.
    It was 10 years old when it was planted in 1874, it has been a nature reserve since 1926 and has been decorated for Christmas ever since.
    The crown diameter is 17m, the trunk circumference is 1.3m. Height 4.98m (figures from 2020).
