Trees, avenues, and rows of trees structure the Höfe landscape as “living architecture” and are historical, cultural, and aesthetic landscape elements.

Many of the existing rows of trees and avenues date back to the last century and have a strong appearance and attraction. Besides their aesthetic significance, rows of trees also have high ecological value. However, many rows of trees have disappeared in recent years due to reasons of road safety, road expansion, agricultural rationalization, structural conditions, old age, or disease.

For example, the characteristic birch row along Hüttnerstrasse in the Höfe district has been almost completely removed. To stop the decline of this attractive cultural and landscape element, the LEK Höfe implemented the tree-row project in 2013/2014. Suitable locations were searched throughout the district and over 100 new trees were planted as part of this project.
