    A historical and actually beautiful place, but with a gruesome history. This was the place of execution of the Reichsvogtei Werd in earlier times.

    Gallows oak Mertingen a natural monument in the Donauries
    The oak trees are a proven high-court execution site of the former Reichsvogtei Werd - today Donauwörth - whose main town Merdingen was today's Mertingen. The jurisdiction concerned serious crimes such as murder, emergency breeding, arson or theft in the area of the Reichsvogtei.

    Wonderful place to stay and enjoy the peace.
    Unfortunately, the seating has been removed and you can currently only sit on an old tree trunk. Especially great: just lie under the oak tree and see the sky ... This is balm for the soul!
