    Hiking

    Everyone in Marburg knows them, the forest oak on the Lahnberge near Sonnenblick. Today it is unfortunately only a ruin, burned out a few years ago by two boys setting fire to it.
    The series of pictures shows how beautiful it once was, powerful and dominant at its location. The pictures were taken in all four seasons in 1988/89, always from the same location.

    Hiking

    The former "Förster Eiche" was a natural monument and a popular destination for people from the district until 1996. Unfortunately, in 1996 two guys thought it was a good idea to light them up.

    Hiking

    An imposing, albeit dead tree - a look inside is impressive. Anyone who has known the mighty tree residue for a long time can see how it is gradually becoming fewer and fewer.
