Tree path
between Dünnwalder Mauspfad and the wildlife park
________________________________________
In 2006 and 2007, the forestry administration created the tree path in cooperation with the Berliner Strasse special needs school. A path was created by students that provides a shortcut for pedestrians from the wildlife park to the main entrance of the forestry depot and the arboretum.
________________________________________
In addition to native red beech and yew trees, coastal firs, black walnuts and sequoias can be found on the tree path.

________________________________________
The sequoias are native to western North America on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada in central California. The area of origin covers a narrow strip almost 500 km long.
The sequoia is one of the tallest and oldest trees on earth. In its native habitat, it reaches heights of over 100m and a trunk diameter of over 10m. It can live for over 3,000 years. The trunk tapers very sharply towards the top. The spongy, cracked, light reddish-brown bark is 30 to 60 cm thick. The scale-like needles are sharply pointed and pressed against the branches. The tree's antiseptic sap protects itself during its long life from the destruction of the specifically light wood by insects and fungi.
In the Tertiary period (period: 66 to 2.6 million years ago) and in the Cretaceous period (period: 145 to 66 million years ago), sequoias populated all of North America as well as Asia and Europe and formed part of the brown coal.
