A married couple of strong faith donated a vineyard to the monastery from their property in Nußloch.
Nestled in the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park, hikers come across the remains of the thick beech tree in the Nußloch community forest, near the Erlenteichweg.
According to the forestry office's information board, the former natural monument on Hirschberg had a total height of 46 m and a trunk circumference of 4.20 m. The age of the beech was estimated to be around 260 years.
As a result of moisture penetration, rot and frost damage ate into the interior of the trunk over time.
In the 19th century there were extensive areas under cultivation on the western slopes of the Leopoldsberg, the Wilhelmsberg and the Neuen Berg.
The future use of the cable car and its route between the Nußloch quarry and the Leimen cement works was unclear for a long time.
In February 2023, the Baden-Württemberg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments placed the material cableway between the Nußloch quarry and the Leimen cement works under protection as a landscape-defining cultural monument immediately after it was decommissioned in its entirety, including production facilities.
