    This rustic rest area invites you to linger in the summer.

    Right next to it are three large information boards about the former "Fat Oak."

    The thickest oak tree in Württemberg, several hundred years old, once stood on this spot. An illustrated plaque provides information about it. Truly interesting!

    Hiking

    The "Thick Oak" natural monument features seating for resting and information panels about the tree and its history. The "Thick Oak" was once probably the strongest oak in the region and a popular destination for excursions. For centuries, it served as a playground, a festival ground, a shelter, and a place of wonder.

    On August 3, 1874, at approximately 2 p.m., this Methuselah of the Nehren Forest, likely over 1000 years old, collapsed due to its age. The fallen trunk remained an attraction, as stories tell of entire school classes finding space inside the oak's hollow interior.
