    Hiking

    The history of the Papal oaks began on April 28, 2004, during one of the pilgrimages of Polish foresters. It was then that foresters took 2.5 kg of seeds of the Brave oak, the oldest pedunculate oak in Poland, to the Vatican (the Brave oak is estimated to be 745 years old). The seeds returned to Poland with the blessing of John Paul II, and from then on each "descendant" of the Brave is called a papal oak.
