Tilly-Eiche

Where the great armies of the Thirty Years' War were encamped, it must have stinked poorly. The stink has now disappeared here. In the meantime, you can relax and take a rest without unpleasant smells and without the risk of marauding soldiers.

The Tilly Oak is a place of memory of Count von Tilly, a military leader of the Catholic League and the imperial troops in the Thirty Years War. In pursuit of the Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, his soldiers pitched their camp on June 20, 1623 in the forest near Obernfeld.
The only reminder of the oak from back then is a tree torso, in which a new, young oak is now growing.
