    Hiking

    The actual "high root" is located about 700 meters further in the direction of the transmission tower.
    The highlight was probably named because of the sign on the tree.


    Here you can either sit on the forest floor or on the existing bank and rest.

    Hiking

    A sign on the Hohe Wurzel explains the missing trees: the trees have been weakened by the now regular extreme dry periods. The lack of water means that they do not produce enough resin to defend themselves against pests such as bark beetles. Anyone who knows the Hohe Wurzel from before will probably be shocked: it does indeed look very bare. But: reforestation is underway. A new mixed forest is planned that is better adapted to the changed climatic conditions.
