Sekvojovec v Chabaních, Giant sequoia tree in Chabaně, Czech Republic.

This giant sequoia rises 32 meters tall with a trunk circumference of 612 centimeters, standing as the largest tree of its species in the Czech Republic.

Count Zikmund II Berchtold planted the sequoia in 1872, along with two other specimens that did not survive to the present day.

The tree received protected status in December 2001 for its dendrological, aesthetic, and landscape value within the Chřiby Nature Park.

Visitors can access the tree year-round, with parking available nearby and the nearest bus stop located 900 meters away at Břestek-Chabaně.

After being struck by lightning in 1972, the tree developed four new tops, with the tallest reaching 8 meters in height.
