The history of the Friedenseiche am Hirzbach began in the Second World War, when the tree was dedicated by a French prisoner of war and forced laborer to peace and reconciliation between Germans and Frenchmen. In the meantime, this Westerwald oak is even pictured on the bottles of a southern French wine.

All details of this special story can be read on the website of the Peace of Peace. You can also listen to a story based on actual history. You can find the website at the following address: spacetaxi.de/eiche

Nice place to stay. Between fields and pastures.

Very neat rest area surrounded by nature in the middle of the Hirzbachtal. The history of this tree is not only moving, but also a statement for peace, European thinking and action. The board explains it.
