Drei Eichen

Drei Eichen is a natural monument in Heidelberg featuring three ancient oak trees located near a forest parking area. These trees stand at the entrance to several hiking trails and serve as a key starting point for exploring the woodlands around the city.

The oak trees gained protected status as natural monuments in the early 1900s and have remained officially recognized since then. This protection reflects the region's long commitment to preserving its natural heritage.

The three oaks serve as a gathering place where hikers and nature lovers meet before heading into the surrounding forests. People come here to start their outdoor adventures together and experience the woodland that surrounds Heidelberg.

The forest parking lot offers ample space for vehicles and shelter for preparing outdoor excursions into the surrounding areas. The location is easily reachable by public transport, making it convenient for visitors without a car to arrive.

The oaks serve as an access point to an extensive network of hiking trails with varying lengths and difficulty levels. From this location, hikers can choose routes that pass through the Baden-Württemberg forest and offer different landscapes and elevations.
