Tips

Klopstock oaks are oaks that commemorate the German poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724 - 1803). Here on Klopstockweg a sign indicates one of these oaks.

What is striking about this oak is its short, broad trunk, which is only about three meters high. Its crown, on the other hand, is quite huge, which at around 24 meters is even bigger than the total height of the tree, which is only 17 meters. Due to the special appearance of the tree, this oak is designated as a natural monument.

The Klopstock oak is really an impressive tree, the trunk circumference is huge. It is also just a few steps from the path, it is worth to take a look here.

The crown of this monumental oak is wider than it is high! The height is: 17 m, the crown diameter 24 m.
Whether Klopstock was ever here is a matter of dispute. However, the poet was a friend of the oak. He liked to use the phrase "German oak" as a nationalist methaper for Germany:
Because you, a flexible spring shoot
With smaller things
If it is bigger,
Oak that stands the hurricane.
