Did the Dinosaurs know the Seven Mountains? Earth History Rocks
Way to the Löwenburg
If the Seven Mountains were untouched nature, most likely the beeches would be predominant in the woods. Today, forestry has created mixed woods with 36% beeches, 18% oaks, 12% other deciduous trees, 3% robinias, 23% spruces and 8 % pines (source lanuv, Northrhine-Westphalia ).On this page, you can see some of our local trees, but by far not all.

Where what kind of tree grows best depends on several factors, eg the soil conditions, height, proximity to water and others. In regions above 150 m, common oaks and hornbeam forests grow with many winter lime trees; in regions above 300 m, mountain oaks, beeches and European beeches. Also the maple tree belongs into the Seven Mounains Nature Park. The larch is actually a tree accustomed to much higher locations, their home are the high mountains, but now we find the larches also in lower regions.
