At this quietly located bench, a sign invites you to consciously take a quarter of an hour's break. A beautiful place to pause, take a breath, and enjoy the forest tranquility – without any rush.

Right by the Hanau-Wolfgang forestry office stands Hanau's tallest tree: an impressive giant sequoia, planted in 1950. A true natural monument.
