    As a botanical feature, the imposing natural monument "double oak" shows itself on the ascent to the summit of Weyhershauk.

    Hiking

    A truly impressive tree! A visit there is worth it!
    Translated by
    The double oak is 2 km northwest of Ostheim before the Rhön in the forest on a forest path.
    The ruins of Lichtenburg are about 1.5 km to the north-east.
    The oak got its name from its growth form.
    It looks like two oak trees have grown together.
    The monumental trunk splits into two thick shoots at a height of 1.5 m.
    One of them goes straight up to split up again further up.
