Hiking
Seven beech trees (Fagus sylvatica) with a trunk circumference of 335–465 cm, a height of 25–30 m and crown diameters of 18–25 m were declared memorial trees.
The beeches are part of the vegetation that was planted after 1730 on the then bare castle hill. The beeches formed a massive root system to ensure stability on the steep slope. Erosion has exposed the roots and their entanglements, swellings and above-ground loops covered with light gray bark are striking in their beauty.
Be considerate - moving the hillside and roots will increase erosion and damage the memorial trees.
