Lt. The tree with its strong arms shows the way towards Malsbenden. In earlier years, the gigantic tree gave hope to the sick and their relatives. As a medicinal oak, it is known to the locals from oral traditions.

Hiking

A truly impressive natural monument. In prehistoric times, acorns were used by humans as a food rich in protein and carbohydrates.
