Only when you stand directly in front of the tree do you see how huge it is.

The oak was surrounded by large conifers until the drought summers of 2018-2020 and has grown accordingly. These neighboring trees have now been felled and the old oak now stands alone there. The trunk is immense and it takes several people to encompass it.

Hiking

The remarkably old oak has a circumference of a few meters and is very tall, which suggests that it was once surrounded by other trees. Probably conifers that dried up in the dry summers of 2018 and 2019.
