Riesenmammutbaum (Sequoiadendron giganteum) — photo spot in Hofstettenstrasse 14, 3600 Thun, Switzerland
Riesenmammutbaum (Sequoiadendron giganteum)
A rare mature giant sequoia in a small Thun park — dramatic vertical subject with deep-red, furrowed bark and a broad base ideal for texture and scale shots. Easily reachable from Hofstettenstrasse with street parking and short walk; no entry fee. Best early morning or late afternoon for warm side-light and long shadows; weekdays avoid locals. Works year-round: spring/ autumn for contrast with foliage, snow adds drama in winter. Ground is flat and mostly accessible.
