On the hiking trail through "paradise valley"

Wolfgang, Flint, Elke & Heike having a break at "paradise valley"
near Stadelhofen, Franconian Switzerland

Looks like "Treebeard, the Ent" out of the Forest of Fangorn
from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth fantasy writings, doesn't it?

But this is definitely NOT Gimli, the dwarf... ;-))
It must be one of his relatives.

One of the other numerous forest dwellers...

You find chairs everywhere in the forests of Franconian Switzerland to take a break...
