Make it happen

The world’s tallest tree is officially off limits to visitors after an influx of travel bloggers has devastated the surrounding forest.

The 115.92-metre-tall coast redwood known as Hyperion is located in California’s Redwood National Park in the US. Located deep in the park’s forests, the record-breaking tree is not accessible via any trails, meaning visitors have to fight their way through the undergrowth to get to it.

Now anyone found near the world’s tallest tree could face up to six months in prison and a $5,000 (€4,884) fine.

“Hyperion is located off trail through dense vegetation and requires heavy 'bushwhacking' in order to reach the tree,” California’s Redwood National Park said in a warning to visitors.

“As a visitor, you must decide if you will be part of the preservation of this unique landscape - or will you be part of its destruction?”

Pet owners in a southwest German town have been allowed to let their cats outdoors again after a temporary curfew was lifted.

Authorities in the town of Walldorf introduced the measure in May to protect a rare bird during its breeding season.

But the unique lockdown ended two weeks ahead of schedule on Monday.
