Personally, the term "mammoth forest" seems a bit exaggerated to me, as there are a few isolated redwood trees among the other trees. Nevertheless, the path, which deviates from the usual wide paths on Sophienhöhe, was a nice little change.

Mammoth forest is part of the research program to see which tree species are more resilient.

Just a short detour from the main path and you can admire a row of sequoias.
