    Hiking

    The Stiftseiche: According to Wikipedia, the mightiest oak tree with a trunk diameter of 8.50m served as a lookout point over the Baltic Sea during the Swedish Wars of the 17th and 18th centuries, from which the Swedes invaded with their ships.

    The oak was planted next to the former poor pen and hence its name. The oak is about 600 years old and is a protected natural monument.

    Hiking

    In the relevant nature and tree literature, the age of this oak is only given as around 400, max. 600 years, which also seems much more credible (than the 750 years stated on the information boards).
    Even if there are no seating options here, you can take a break in front of the oak tree on the lawn.
