Sobieski's Oak - an over 400-year-old specimen of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) located in the Łężczok nature reserve, within the administrative borders of Racibórz. It is the thickest and oldest tree in Racibórz, the Łężczok reserve, and also one of the three oldest and most impressive trees in the landscape park called Cistercian Landscape Compositions of Rudy Wielkie.
The oak got its name from the legend according to which the tree was planted to commemorate the stay of King Jan III Sobieski in those areas during the march to the relief of Vienna in 1683. It is known, however, that it is not true, because in 1683 the tree was already about 100 years old.
In turn, Jan Duda, in the publication "Natural Peculiarities of Racibórz" published in 2001, writes about the application according to which the king was supposed to stop under an oak tree on his way to Vienna. The oak is part of the tradition of Sobieski trees, well-known in Upper Silesia.
