Schlangenfichte von Großmeinfeld, Natural monument tree in Großmeinfeld, Germany.
The Schlangenfichte features extended hanging branches with sparse needles, standing among three snake spruces in close proximity to each other.
The tree has been documented since 1854, with ongoing debates among experts regarding its origins as either a mutation or an ancient species.
The snake spruce represents a rare botanical specimen in Germany, leading to conservation efforts to protect and study its growth patterns.
Visitors can find the tree along the green-marked hiking trail between Hirschbach and Hartenstein in Middle Franconia.
A young snake spruce, protected by fencing, grows approximately 50 meters east of the original tree, ensuring the continuation of this species.
