Large Pine Forest

The Great Tannenwald Forest includes many elements and reaches from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) to the Roman limes border wall. The landgraves had the terrain laid out as a forest park with various designs beginning in 1771. The ideals of English landscape gardening as well as the philosophical ideas of the Enlightenment are reflected in the design of more pristine natural spaces and extensively structured gardens. The “Großer Tannenwald” (Great Fir Forest) includes the “Große Tanne” pleasure forest, the bush meadow area with the Forellenteich (Trout Pond) and the Neuer Teich (New Pond), the Forestgarten (Forest Garden), the Hirschgarten (Deer Garden) as well as the Elisabethenschneise forest path.
