ムルフィンゲンの天然記念物・トップ20

The hollow oak near Eberstal, also known as the "Holy Tree," is located about 800 meters south of Eberstal and near the road to Diebach. This centuries-old pedunculate oak, with a trunk circumference of approximately 5 meters, forms a special place of worship in nature. Its hollow trunk is partially open, and inside stands a lovingly decorated Madonna figure, surrounded by flowers, candles, a prayer bowl, and a donation box. Several benches in front of the oak invite visitors to linger.

A little tip for hiking groups visiting the grotto: The path in front of the grotto is designed with a kind of staircase. It's a great spot for a group photo. The background is incredibly beautiful.

Worth a visit

Castle Garden

The grotto complex is a beautiful sight. It's definitely a must-see. Even a rest here on hot days is very pleasant and relaxing.

In the Ingelfingen castle park with fountain lake and water lily pond you can find 52 different tree species, from the goat willow to the sequoia to the Serbian spruce.
