Stamping point 45 / Dicke Tannen

The Dicke Tannen stamping station (435 m above sea level) is located at a resting place on the Wolfsbach stream in the forest area between Hohegeiß and Zorge.

The “Dick­en Tan­nen”, which gave the forestry site its name, are actu­al­ly spruces that are over 300 years old. There are cur­rent­ly around 30 of them still stand­ing, some with a trunk cir­cum­fer­ence of up to 5 meters. 

Sev­er­al sign­post­ed hik­ing trails lead to the Dick­en Tan­nen from both Hohegeiß and Zorge. The “Neuer Teich” hik­ing park­ing lot on the road from Braun­lage to Zorge is also a good start­ing point. From there, a hik­ing trail leads past the pond into the Wolfs­bach­tal val­ley and on to the “Dick­en Tannen”.
