Faux de Verzy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Faux de Verzy is a beech forest in the Montagne de Reims Natural Park and is located near Reims in the Marne department , France , where the world's largest collection of southern beeches can be found. The inventory is estimated at around 800 copies. These trees give the forest its name "Faux de Verzy". The word "fau" is the name for beech in the old French language (plural: faux, diminutive: fayet) and is derived from Latin .

The Süntel beeches of the "Faux de Verzy" can be admired on a nature trail. The trees are protected by individual fences made of tree trunks, without these being a hindrance for the walker. An area with a closed fence is used for conservation efforts around the tree population.
