St. Wolfgang's Oak (Wolfgangseiche)

St. Wolfgang's Oak - Neueglofsheim The St. Wolfgang's Oak stands near Schloss Haus, near Neueglofsheim. The oak stands in a meadow next to a dirt road. It is one of the largest oaks in Bavaria. A horizontal branch has been supported by wooden posts towards the dirt road for over 100 years. In 1905, the trunk circumference was 8 m at a height of 1 m.
According to legend, Saint Wolfgang preached eloquently from this branch. The monumental trunk is very irregular and has strong growths in the lower area. On one side, the trunk has an oval opening that comes from a branch breaking a long time ago.
The oak burned in 1878 and 1909. In 1909, it burned on St. Wolfgang's Day. The crown is formed by a few, quite large branches. Holes can be seen everywhere in the branches, which come from smaller branches that have broken off. The vitality is still quite good considering the relatively old age of the oak.
