    Hiking

    This giant sequoia (country of origin: California, USA) was planted around 1880. It stands at the entrance to the beautiful, exotic landscape garden of the "Privatklinik Bad Gleisweiler". (There are other giant sequoias in this magnificent park.)
    According to the information board on this tree: "Its trunk, which extends to the top of the crown, is covered by a striking, reddish-brown bark. This is soft and fibrous, but difficult to ignite. In this way, giant sequoias survive the forest fires that are common in [California] almost unscathed."
