Höchster Baum Deutschlands hat vermutlich große Brüder bei Pechbrunn

Die Douglasie "Waldtraud" bei Freiburg im Breisgau ist mit knapp 68 Metern der höchste Baum Deutschlands. Doch "Waldtraut" hat wohl zwei große Brüder bei Pechbrunn: "Karl" und "Wilhelm". Ein Konnersreuther hat nachgeforscht.

Ab hier geht es etwa 46 Meter in die Höhe, die Wipfel der Douglasien "Karl" (links) und "Wilhelm" sind vom Boden aus kaum zu erkennen. Die beiden Bäume sind vermutlich die ältesten ihrer Art in Bayern, vielleicht sogar in Europa, und stehen im Waldgebiet Rothemarter-Schlag zwischen Pechbrunn und Großbüchlberg. Möglicherweise sind sie Brüder von "Waldtraut", die bei Freiburg im Breisgau steht und mit knapp 68 Metern der höchste Baum Deutschlands ist.
