    Hiking

    The oak was planted at the time of the peace treaty of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871 and is therefore of cultural and historical significance. It is an impressive and large-crowned tree. It was struck by lightning years ago and has since had a crack running from the crown to the roots.

    The edge of the village of Sossenheim used to be where the Friedenseiche stands. Until around 1800, the place was surrounded by a ditch to protect it: A "ditch" is a network of fences and hedges with a ditch.

    The Peace Oak marks the first stop on the Sossenheim Fruit Trail. Here, on the edge of the village, begins the Sossenheim Unterfeld, where there are still many orchards today.
