About 30km southwest of Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, the last large and old hardwood forests of the United States can be found on the Congaree River. In a vast swamp area - the national park covers 107 square kilometers - the trees form one of the highest natural roof areas in the world. A hike through the park's rustic swamp landscape is impressive, mystical and enchanting. Various circular hiking trails, some of which lead over a raised wooden plank path, open up the north-western area of the park area. The approx. 7km long Weston Lake Loop Trail leads past the lake of the same name. The visitor center provides information about nature and settlement history. The national park's website provides up-to-date information and a wealth of information about the history and features of the park: https://www.nps.gov/cong/index.htm
