Hiking

In 1806, General Blucher surrendered to this French oak to Marshal Bernadotte, who later became King of Sweden.

The oak itself is just a "pillar", but it's always nice to be in a place steeped in history. This invites you to read a little more about what happened ...

On Wikipedia, you can't find out why Blücher was supposed to have been here in 1806 in Blücher's biography. But if you look up the Battle of Lübeck in 1806, everything is described about how Blücher lost. The oak tree was replanted at the turn of the millennium.
If all that doesn't interest you: the path is a good connection from Schwartau to Ratekau with a cycle path tunnel under the main road.
