Kaiserbuche, Natural monument at Haunsberg ridge, Obertrum, Austria.

The Kaiserbuche stands at an elevation of 766 meters on the Haunsberg ridge, offering views of the Bavarian alpine foothills and Salzburg region.

Emperor Joseph II visited this location on October 28, 1779, leading to the planting of the original beech tree that stood for 225 years.

The site includes a Kaiser-Franz-Josef jubilee chapel and a stone pyramid, forming part of the VIA NOVA pilgrimage trail through the Salzburg Seenland.

The location features an audio guide station near the chapel, providing information about the tree's history and significance in multiple languages.

After the original tree fell in a storm in 2004, Otto Habsburg planted a replacement tree to maintain the historical connection to imperial Austria.
