    Hiking

    The trunk disc you see here weighs about five tons and comes from a giant sequoia that was more than 2000 years old when it was felled. This tree germinated in classical antiquity.
    This copy was displayed in the American pavilion during the Expo 58 world exhibition in Brussels. After the world exhibition, the Americans donated their stem disc to the then National Botanical Garden. Since the opening of the HOUTlab in 2019, the master disc is again accessible to the general public.
