Legend has it that two conventual women of the monastery swore eternal loyalty to each other, whereupon they turned into a fused oak. The tree is said to be over 300 years old and died after being struck by lightning.

The story from my childhood read: Two nuns sought shelter under the oak tree in a storm. Lightning struck them and split them. From this the saying is derived: You should look for beeches, you should give way to oaks.

The W4 "Neuklosterwanderweg" hiking trail also runs along this area, and at almost 13 km, it is highly recommended. All information about the W4 can be found at the following link: urlaubsregion-altesland.de/tour/wanderweg-w4-neuklosterwanderweg (as of April 23, 2025).
