    Of course, it is not yet 1000 years old, but it is around 700 years old. Although it is repeatedly shortened by tree pruning, it currently has a height of approx. 20 meters and a circumference of approx. 5.60 meters. Further information can be found on the sign opposite on the way.
    She has already experienced and seen a lot, so a visit is recommended at any time of the year. Have fun.

    Always worth seeing, at any time of year.
    It is estimated to be 700 years old and since it has always been there and has seen many generations, it is popularly known as the "thousand-year-old oak".
    It is around 20 meters high and the trunk has a circumference of just over 5.50 meters.
