Hiking

The sessile oak stands secluded in the Büdinger Forest in a forest clearing near the princely graves. Next to the oak is a large sandstone cross and the grave of Prince Otto Friedrich (1904–1990) and his wife Felizitas (1914–1989). The oak is the thickest sessile oak in Germany.

Here, as in many other places in the Büdinger Forest, very powerful solitary oak trees have developed; it is estimated that these are 300-400 years old.
