The Mozarteiche stands on the meadow near Seeon, almost 100 m west of Seeoner See. From the oak you have a nice view of the Seeoner See and Seeon Abbey. The oak stands a little higher on a small hill. The musician and composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) often visited the musical Benedictine monastery of Seeon from Salzburg. According to stories, Mozart is said to have regularly rested on a bench under the oak during his walks. Accordingly, the oak is called the Mozart oak. But I don't think the oak is so old that Mozart saw it. The monumental trunk is completely closed and has a pronounced approach to the ground. At a height of 4 m, the trunk divides into numerous branches that form the large crown. The condition of the oak is still very good.

While Mozart's father stopped at Seeon Abbey on the way from Salzburg to Munich, rumor has it that the beer brewed here tasted particularly good to him, and that Amadeus Mozart often accompanied him when he was a tender boy, Mozart is said to be at this oak tree under the supervision of a musical friar wrote their first compositions. It is documented that at the age of 10 Mozart composed two remarkable offers for choir and orchestra (Scande coeli limina and Inter natos mulierum) for the Seeon monastery and its father, Johannes Haasy.
Every year around Easter, the Mozart Week takes place, which, with its young artists from the Salzburg Mozarteum, attracts a great deal of attention. If you are interested, you should secure tickets in good time.
