With a chest height of 6.00 m, this oak is probably around 480 years old.
At the crossroads there is a bench in the shade of the tree.

The United Kingdom has the most oaks of this size, with a total of ten, followed by Germany with five, and Denmark and Sweden with three each. The thickest oak in Europe is the Kvilleken in Sweden, with a circumference of 14.75 meters. Some European countries do not have oaks of this size. For example, the thickest oak in Lithuania has a circumference of 9.35 meters, in Romania 9.30 meters, in Switzerland 8.90 meters, in Estonia 8.25 meters, in the Netherlands 7.97 meters, and in Austria 7.25 meters. The age of the Kongeegen in Denmark, the oldest oak in Europe, is estimated at between 1400 and 2000 years.[2][3] Additionally listed are three oaks that are just below the limit, but are interesting for the reasons described.
