    Lies by the wayside, you don't know how long it has been.
    Maybe he's not that old yet, I couldn't find any contemporary witnesses, but I'm still impressed 🧙

    The trunk is impressive. However, you have to be careful. You quickly passed the trunk. It is now quite overgrown.

    Hiking

    The oak tree fell in January 2011, after it had already been in a bad condition. A lot of snow and broken branches of surrounding trees led to its demise. According to tradition, it was not 1000 years old, but probably well over 500 years old.

    As it has been lying there since then, it will become overgrown and naturally rot away.
