Giant Sequoia Forest Liliental
Highlight • Forest
Sequoia trees are native to California on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, where they can be up to 3,000 years old and reach heights of 100 meters.
The seeds for the lily valley sequoia trees come directly from California.
They were sown in the Stuttgart pheasant garden in 1956. Four years later they were planted out on an area of 1.2 hectares in Liliental and have grown splendidly ever since.
Already in 1992 the trees were on average 22 meters high.

View of the Southern Black Forest from Liliental
Highlight • Viewpoint
The view from the Totenkopf, a viewpoint at the highest point of the Kaiserstuhl at 557 meters above sea level, is particularly impressive. From here you have a panoramic view of the entire region. On a clear day you can even see the Black Forest and the Vosges.
Another great vantage point is the Schönberg, also known as the "Kaiserstuhldom". From here you have a wonderful view of the towns of Endingen and Vogtsburg as well as of the Rhine plain and the Black Forest. In the distance you can also see the Vosges and Alsace.
Another great vantage point is the Eicherturm in Königschaffhausen. The tower is 25 meters high and offers a spectacular view of the Rhine and Alsace. The climb is definitely worth it, because the view is simply breathtaking.
There are many hiking trails and paths that lead through the Kaiserstuhl, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenery and views. Some of the most beautiful trails are the Kaiserstuhlsteig, which leads through vineyards, forests and meadows, and the Panoramaweg, which leads through the picturesque villages of the Kaiserstuhl and offers a wonderful view of the surroundings.
Overall, the Kaiserstuhl is a truly unique place, known for its picturesque scenery and breathtaking views. Visitors should definitely allow time to explore the many viewpoints and hiking trails, and take in the area's beauty to the fullest.

From the Vogelsangpass (between Bötzingen and Altvogtsburg), we moderately ascended on a beautiful path in the direction of Totenkopf. Initially, it offered great views over the Breisgau, the Freiburg Bay, and up to the Hochschwarzwald.
From the "Wanderer-Skulptur" (after 480 m), the path leads through beautiful deciduous forest. We skirted the Totenkopf …
