The tallest tree in the Odenwald is a Douglas fir and grows in a group of conspecifics in the Eberbach city forest. It measures exactly 64.77 meters from the base of the trunk to the tip and has therefore increased by around 2.30 meters since its last measurement 14 years ago. This was now determined using a tachymeter, a device that measures the height of the targeted point via distance and angle.

It's been a while since one of Eberbach's giant trees was considered the tallest tree in Germany for years. In 2008, the Neckarstadt disputed this title with a Douglas fir in the Freiburg Forest. She currently towers over her Eberbach competitor by around two meters.
