Hammundeseiche (also called Hoheneiche) is a desert. It is located at 440 m above sea level. NN, between Friedewald and Wildeck-Hönebach in the Seulingswald in northeastern Hesse.
The foundation walls of a church were exposed, next to it a spring well and about 100 m away the Hammundese oak.

Hammundeseiche is a village located on the so-called KURZEN HESSEN, which probably fell into ruin at the beginning of the 14th century. The foundations of the church and the village fountain are still visible today. The Hammundeseiche - a natural monument - is probably located in the area of the former village center.
You can get here on well-developed forest paths both on foot and by bike - not necessarily a racing bike - and you can take a good rest here - there are some places to sit by the former church.
