Hiking

The Larch Stone is a memorial stone in the shape of an obelisk. The stone, made of red sandstone, is richly inscribed on all sides. The southwest and southeast sides provide detailed information about the planting of the larch plantation in 1760-1771 and the erection of the memorial stone in 1768. The northeast side was not inscribed until 1993, explaining the later fate of the larch population.

The large memorial stone made of red sandstone commemorates the reforestation in the late 18th century under Margrave Karl Friedrich. The larches were planted by the head forester von Gaisberg.

The Lärchenstein stands approximately on the old Roman road that led from Strasbourg via Pforzheim to Bad Cannstatt. It commemorates the first plantings of this tree species by Oberforstmeister von Gaisberg after 1761.
