At over 300 years old, the mighty oak was a well-known landmark of the Palatinate Forest. In 1994, the oak tree was so severely injured by unknown persons with a chainsaw that the tree died despite all attempts to save it. In 2010 the oak had become so rotten that it had to be felled. Today the tree stands as a memorial in its former place and can still give you a sense of its size and age.

Memorial for natural monument vandals ... in the meantime, although a new oak tree is in place, it still needs a few days to become as impressive as her big brother.

Impressive memorial in the forest. Unfortunately, many years ago a victim of senseless vandalism.
