The oak is several hundred years old. It stands on the former military training area "Kindel". A special feature is its deformed crown and hollow trunk. It was probably used as a target in the past. Today it offers a home to many animal species that depend on the structure of old trees.

This old oak tree is great to look at. It's a miracle that this oak can still stand with this "damage". A wonder of nature.
