リューグランドの天然記念物・トップ20

It's a beautiful place! Totally idyllic.

Near Hürbel am Rangen, a district of Lehrberg, you can find the oldest tree in the Frankenhöhe Nature Park, the Kreuzeiche (Cross Oak). Various sources seem to dispute the age of this impressive tree. According to the information board on site, the Kreuzeiche is about 600 years old. Other sources say it's 800 years old. In any case, it is a truly impressive tree, with a circumference of about 6.5 meters at breast height. There are two possible explanations for the name "Kreuzeiche": One is that it stands at the intersection of the old high-altitude trail from Hinterholz to Steinersdorf and from Neudorf to Lehrberg; the other is that the crown of the oak tree grows like a cross. Numerous legends also surround the Kreuzeiche: One example is that of Hans Roi, a restless wagon driver who, every night during Advent, rides from the Kreuzeiche around the Bocksberg on a black horse with his head tucked under his arm.

There are some benches from which you can observe and enjoy nature and the pond.

If you like ruins or Lost Place, this is the place for you. Grown on the outskirts. There is currently an entry ban due to dilapidation.

So due to that you really don't !! But apparently it would already be 😬🙈😉

Nature reserve, limited access!

An impressive and ancient tree, next to which you don't feel so important anymore. 😅 A wonderfully quiet patch of earth.

An absolutely worth seeing tree that has been waiting for you for over 600 years
