    The oak is called "Uparty Mazur" in memory of the people who used to live here. You may not all know that the inhabitants of northern Mazovia were called Mazurs. Although today this term refers to the people living in the land of lakes.
    The oak has a circumference of over 10 meters, is 28 meters high, has very spreading branches, it is difficult to encompass them with the lens. The trunk is straight, stocky, its mossy branches from a distance resemble chain mail, ancient armor. Its powerful silhouette makes you want to hug it, unfortunately it is surrounded by a small fence. It is such a special experience to get close to a tree that remembers the Battle of Grunwald and has the potential to outlive our great-great-grandchildren.
    This natural monument grows about 20 kilometers from Ciechanów, far from popular tourist trails, it is not easy to get to it, fortunately navigation will take us there. It grows just behind the village of Młock on the edge of the Łydynia river valley, a mighty pedunculate oak with a healthy appearance for its 800 years. This is what is written on the plaque next to the tree, funded by the Society of Friends of the Ciechanów Land and the residents of Młock.
