A special place: an ancient oak tree (more than 500 years old) and a beautiful seating area to rest!"The oak has a circumference of 5 meters at the root neck and a gate-like large hole [with scaffolding]. It is a protected natural monument (ND-7332-237 Thick Oak)."

The "thick" oak has earned its name and is considered a natural monument.
