A spruce that has grown in a peculiar way is the cedar spruce in the Gimmlitztal. It developed two strong side arms over the years, giving it the look it owes its name to. Her age is estimated at around one hundred and fifty years. You can hike to it from different directions in the Gimmlitztal.

CANDLE SPRUCE

This tree is about 150 years old and branched out in its youth. It defied the inclement weather to the joy of fir ate and is affectionately referred to as the chandelier spruce because of its appearance. Up until the 1960s, this spruce stood as a single specimen at this point and was a sure sign of orientation for hikers. It would be desirable that this

Candlestick spruce will continue to bring joy to future generations. May it be preserved for us as a natural monument and defy climate change.
