Flörsheimer Schweiz
Highlight • Forest
There are 191 "Switzerlands" worldwide. At least. Sixty-seven of them are located in Germany alone. This is according to the Swiss National Tourist Office; the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" even claims to have counted 233. This honorary title is bestowed upon regions that are somewhat wilder than their surroundings, evoking a romanticized vision of the real thing. Often, just a few prominent hills with steep slopes and a view are enough to earn this moniker. The Flörsheim Switzerland is certainly one of the flattest of these "Switzerlands." Just think of the Nassau Switzerland region a little further along in the Taunus mountains near Eppstein. And even the Holstein Switzerland region in Schleswig reaches the 160-meter mark.

There should be people who hear the grass growing. In one of the most beautiful places in Flörsheim Switzerland visitors can even listen to the trees chattering. Well, at least a tree. A very special one: the iron tree. When the weather is nice, the artificial giant with viewing platform tells its own story - with the help of photovoltaic cells!
It is by no means the blue of the sky that chatters down the whimsical tree on the small plateau between Flörsheim, Wicker and Hochheim. Much more tells the 18-meter high and 38-ton installation, what's up with her on it. Even at the distance, the strange metal giant above the Wickerbachaue captivates hikers and cyclists. This is partly due to the dry foliage branches, on the other hand up the stairs to the observation deck. If you come closer, the riddle unfolds little by little. The light green "leaves" are 70 to 70 centimeters large, three millimeters thick metal sheets. The "trunk" with the ten "branches" is screwed together from twelve millimeter-thick, rhombic metal elements. Similar to the branches, which consist of up to 29 individual parts. The "roots" are 24 screws of 140 centimeters in length and 3.5 centimeters in diameter. On the way up to the viewing platform at a height of nine meters, the iron tree first receives natural sounds such as wind noise and birdsong. Then he begins to tell his story ...
