    Hiking

    A highlight on an otherwise boring route, the sycamore is one of the most impressive trees I have seen.
    Especially the foot.
    Unfortunately the left branch has a crack.

    The tree is impressive, especially since it is said to be so old.

    According to Thüringer Allgemeine of April 11, 2015, this sycamore is estimated to be 400 years old. He is 14 meters high and stands at the foot of Katzenstein. Because of its distinctive growth form, it is under protection as a natural monument.
    Its name has been handed down in the vernacular over the decades.
