ヘーニヘンの天然記念物・トップ8

Easy to run. At the beginning of the climb you need to be fit, and in the forest you need orientation or a good route on an app that you can follow.

Here you can admire 3 sequoias, the exact planting age cannot be confirmed. The evergreen sequoia is, unlike its siblings, the dawn redwood and the coastal redwood, also hardy in our country. It has several special features in its growth. As the name suggests, the sequoia is a real giant and is considered the largest plant on earth in terms of plant mass. In addition, it not only forms a tall but also a very thick trunk. The most impressive living representative of its species is the "General Sherman Tree" in Sequoia National Park, which is 84 meters tall and has a trunk diameter of over eight meters, which gives a trunk volume of almost 1,500 cubic meters. In our latitudes, however, the sequoia rarely reaches its final height. It has a narrow, conical crown, with the straight trunk often remaining branchless up to great heights. Sequoias live for over 3,000 years and weigh up to two and a half thousand tons when fully grown. The giant sequoia is a so-called pyrophyte, which means that its fibrous, thick, resin-free bark is structured in such a way that it can protect the tree from forest fires. Burns on the tree heal almost completely after a few years. The giant sequoia's root system is flat and can form a radius of 30 meters. The tree owes its English name "redwood" to its characteristic red-brown bark.

Many observation points, mostly quiet and pure nature... Just enjoy and relax!

View over the Koenigshain mountains. The Koenigshainer Berge is a granite area in which free-standing rock formations formed by erosion protruded from the earth. The area encloses the municipality of Königshain and is about 50 km² in size and largely forested. Some impressive rock formations are still well preserved, many of the granite rocks were removed by granite quarrying, resulting in beautiful water-filled quarries such as the Firstensteinbruch, the Hamannbruch and the Thadenbruch.

Approx. 3 km southwest of the city center of Rothenburg, on the outskirts of the Geheege district, is a geographical rarity: the Geheeger watershed. A moat that comes out of the Biehainer peat cut divides into two arms. The discharge is regulated in such a way that half of the amount of water flows through a wedge in the water to the Spreer ponds, Schöps, Spree, Havel, Elbe to the North Sea, the other half to the Neisse, Oder into the Baltic Sea. The Geheeger watercourse thus has the extremely rare European runoff into two different seas.

The natural rest area is on the German side. And enjoy the Neisse with your birds and beavers in peace.

There is a lot to discover on the Oder-Neisse cycle path 👍😃🚲

Located directly on the Oder-Neisse cycle path near Lodenau, it has a wonderfully beautiful panoramic view of the Neisse loop. It seems as if, viewed from above, the river has plenty of leisure, at least it is not in a hurry.
