    Hiking

    The Behlen Oak was a striking natural tree at the edge of the forest above Holzen. It was considered a natural monument and a popular landmark. It has since sadly fallen and died – but remains in memory as a part of local natural history.

    Hiking

    The trunk of the 300-year-old tree, a sessile oak, had been attacked by core beetles after the crown began to die. The Behleneiche had already reached a height of 36 meters, their trunk diameter is around 1.40 meters.
    Kandern-Holzen (jut). The Pehlicheiche below the Behlen near the Kestenharder way is trimmed. Only then can it be preserved as a natural monument for as long as possible.

    Impressive old oak tree. Unfortunately, it is now dead. It is estimated to be around 300 years old. An information board provides information about the oak tree.
