It is one of the thickest pedunculate oaks in Poland. The tree's circumference of 1003 cm puts it in second place in Poland. The age of the tree was estimated at 720 years. In the ground level there is a large hole (making it difficult to accurately measure the circumference), which, according to descriptions from 100 years ago, housed 11 soldiers. The oak changed its name several times. From 1898, it was called the Royal Oak - at that time, the owner of the estate in Kadyny was the German Emperor Wilhelm II. It was also called the 1000-year-old German Oak. After World War II, the tree was called the Kadyna Oak, after Princess Kadyna, the founder of the town. Then called the Oak of the Rebirth of Poland. The current name comes from the name of a local hero, knight Jan Bażyński (1390-1459), the former owner of Kadyny.

Don't take the path next to the oak, use the asphalt. It probably couldn't have been made of worse slabs, it's a disaster :(
