If you are looking for a majestic sight in nature, you should visit the Séquoia Michel Counotte in Theux, Belgium. This is a giant redwood tree named after a forest ranger who worked in the area from 1975 to 2013. It is next to the forest lodge, where you can also enjoy hiking trails and trails cycle paths. The Michel Counotte Sequoia is a remarkable example of the largest and longest tree species in the world, and a symbol of the beauty and diversity of the forest.
