The mother beech is a natural monument and is located on the main hiking trail 1 (HW1) of the Swabian Alb Association. At this point, a beautiful, covered seating area was set up, which invites you to linger and rest in the beautiful nature and offers a little shelter even when it rains. There is also a beautiful “Bildstöckle” with Saint Hubert.

A lovely place for a rest. In summer, the forest keeps it a bit cooler, and the roof provides shelter from the rain.
