We recommend combining the visit to the Life Tree Circle with a visit to the Landgut Cobenzl Children´s Farm. During weekends in the summer, they deliver classical music and jazz. Small loudspeakers are triggered by sensors. Visitors have to look for their own life tree, based on their date of birth, which will tell them its story, which is also their story. The Life Tree Circle reflects the mystic belief that trees have qualities similar to the zodiac signs. The trees represent the passing of time and the four seasons of the year. It´s a circle of 40 trees, 36 of which are planted around the perimeter and 4 in the center. Am Himmel Life Tree Circle is a special place at the summit of Am Himmel, next to the Am Himmel forest playground and the Cafe Restaurant Oktogon am Himmel.
