About: Tunnel tree

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A tunnel tree is a large tree in whose trunk a tunnel has been drilled. This practice took place mainly at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century in the west of the United States. The tunnel allowed tourists to walk or drive through the tree with a car. The tunnels were bored to boost tourism. The tunnelling seriously damaged the health of the trees. As a result, some trees have fallen. Due to the harmful effects of hollowing out trees, the practice of creating tunnel trees has been abandoned.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Ein Tunnelbaum ist ein großer Baum, in dessen Stamm ein Tunnel gebohrt worden ist. Diese Praxis fand in erster Linie Ende des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts im Westen der Vereinigten Staaten statt. Der Tunnel ermöglichte es Touristen mit einem Auto den Baum zu durchfahren oder durch ihn hindurchzugehen. Die Tunnel wurden gebohrt, um den Tourismus anzukurbeln. Der Tunnelbau hat die Gesundheit vieler Bäume schwer geschädigt. Einige Bäume sind daher umgestürzt. Aufgrund der schädlichen Auswirkungen des Aushöhlens von Bäumen wird die Praxis der Erstellung von Tunnelbäumen seit langem unterlassen. (de)
