    Hiking

    Thick tree
    Impressive appearance, photographed countless times, declared Tree of Gelderland 2018. It is clear that the Thick Tree appeals to the imagination of many. The age of this gigantic summer oak is estimated to be between 450 and 500 years! The forest giant almost had to be cut down in 1767, because two mill axles could be removed from the trunk. Fortunately, the then estate owners did not accept the offer of a local miller. He offered fl. 275.00 (a formidable amount at the time).

    The thickness was considerably more in my memory. But everything from your youth seems bigger in retrospect than it really was. Anyway. More than the thickness, the age of the tree is impressive...
