The old crown oak was deliberately left as deadwood and provides an important habitat for moss, fungi, beetles and other insects. In autumn 2022, a beautiful seating area was set up here. On May 1st, the crowned oak is a popular meeting place and also a refreshment station for hikers!

The old oak now serves as a food source and home for a variety of wood-decomposing creatures.
