Description

Pfalzgrafenweiler is located on the high plateau of the Northern Black Forest. The "Hohe Tannen" nature reserve and protected forest is located near Kälberbronn and is known for its old and tall trees. Some are over 50 metres tall. Until Hurricane Lothar in 1999, Germany's tallest fir tree stood here at 55 metres and was estimated to be 300 years old.
