You will find one oak at the usually open gate next to the vineyard, the largest in a bend in the path (with information board, you can't miss it) and number three and four are at the beginning of the path through the orchard in the picnic meadow when you come from the crematorium. You will also find crosses in the oaks (not original but added later) and nesting boxes for owls.

Hiking

Here the old folk custom was used to plant a tree by mutual agreement in the event of a dispute over a missing dividing pole. In this way, the measuring costs by the notary or surveyor were avoided. In that case it was not legally valid.
There are 4 dividing oaks in this area, the oldest of which has a base circumference of 3 meters: called the Kastaar.
