    The Three Barons are giant Douglas firs. Baron von Lerchenfeld planted them in 1880.

      The three Douglas firs were planted in 1880 and are not the only giant trees here in the location of the body board trench on the hiking trail to the plus tree. You can also marvel at a maple tree with a circumference of 3.82 m, a linden tree with 3.08 m, a spruce with 3.91 m, as well as a huge ash and a fir tree.
