    Hiking

    These are two old beech trees in the Klosterfeld Forest, standing side by side, entwined for around 100 years.
    They appear as if they were embracing each other – hence the name "Giants in Love."
    A few years ago, they even received an iron heart and a park bench next to them, so that walkers and lovers can linger there.
    The idea came from a resident of Himmelpforten and was implemented in collaboration with the local creative workshop.

    Hiking

    Intertwined beech trees are common, and the ones in the Himmelpforten Forest are known as the "Giant Lovers."

    For about 100 years, two beech trees have stood closely entwined by the roadside in the Himmelpforten Forest. Now, the "Giant Lovers" have been given an iron heart and a park bench where walkers, hikers, cyclists, and lovers can relax. A beautiful sight, and a visit is highly recommended 👍🏼.
