These giant sequoia trees aren't in Welzheim, but in Wüstenrot! 😳

In Welzheim, there's a beautiful circular trail that leads through the Roman Forest to the impressive giant sequoia trees (Wellingtonias). The trail is easy, leads through woodland and past relics of Roman history. It's well signposted and also suitable for families with children, although it's not stroller-friendly. The trail begins at the "Sempervivum" hiking car park and leads to the impressive trees, which can be seen after just a few meters.

In the forests of Wüstenrot and neighboring Löwenstein, Wellingtonia trees over 100 years old grow. These giant sequoias were the seeds of which King Wilhelm II acquired in America in 1865 to plant in the Wilhelma Garden in Bad Cannstatt. Since there were too many seedlings (4,000), they were sold to municipalities and private individuals. This is why, today, parks and gardens boast specimens of this giant over 135 years old.
