At the center is the significance of trees for the climate. The walk makes it tangible why rows of trees, solitary trees, and grown green spaces are far more than mere backdrops. They provide shade, improve the microclimate, and shape the townscape of Prien in a sustainable way. Especially in the Chiemgau, nature becomes an immediate part of the holiday experience.
