Worth seeing natural monument on the edge of the path. Old oaks can still often be found, whoever plants or takes care of a tree will do so for generations to come. That's why something like this deserves a lot of respect and respect, just like nature as a whole.
The estimated age is 300-350 years.

Oak trees can live up to 1000 years. There are oak trees all over Europe that are 300, 500 or even 1000 years old. They are ancient eyewitnesses. The Ivenacker oaks stand on the Mecklenburg Lake District.

But you can also find the older trees here. And it is always good to see these contemporary witnesses. They were considered a sacred tree by the Celts or Germans. In religion they stand as a symbol for eternal life.
Let's do everything to preserve nature.

It is to be hoped that this oak tree will remain standing and preserved for a long time to come. One may disagree about the age, it's nice that such veterans still exist at all.
