    The trunk of the oak has a circumference of 6 meters. Opposite a bank invites you to linger.

    With all the enthusiasm ... there is not an oak tree in Lower Saxony that is so old.
    The oldest is in Hansbruch near Oldenburg and is 600 years old!
    Unfortunately, this oak is not one of them😕
    But at least it bears this proud name. Otherwise a very beautiful tree with a broad trunk. It's worth getting down!

    The oak is also called "gypsy oak" because the traveling people are said to have camped under it in the past. The trunk circumference is 5.72 m and the age is around 300 years.
