Tips
The Steinknuckeiche is a landmark of the Spessart. It is a sessile oak with an estimated height of 40 m and a trunk circumference at 1.30 m height of 4.65 m.The crown shows the old age. The tree top is shaped by crippled and dead branches and branches. The former highest branch of the trunk from the middle of the tree has died and has been converted into a woodpecker cave. It is quite possible that the tree was once 3 or 4 m higher at its best.Unfortunately, the crown broke off in 2019, since the oak will have lost a few meters.monumentaltrees.com/de/deu/bayern/aschaffenburg/8109_rothenbucherforst
