Factbox

  • The “year of birth” of this sycamore map was determined by a dendrochronological study of the year 1386, i. This year, the tree began to germinate. In more than 620 years, this sycamore rose to a stately height of 19 meters and a diameter of 2 meters, at 6.50 meters in circumference. At its location in 1,180 meters above sea level about 120 m on the mountain side of the forest path between “Gasthof Hörnlepass” and state border, it blooms only every 2 – 3 years. Like any maple, it is a typical deep root with a compact root system that strengthens and protects the slope. He likes it sunny to partially shaded and is quite undemanding. Due to its age, it is extremely frost hardy and wind resistant. This tree used to be the classic supplier of tavern tables. This copy is no longer in question. He could cheerfully tell a lot about many moving times!
