St. Wolfgang's Oak - Neueglofsheim The St. Wolfgang's Oak stands near Schloss Haus, near Neueglofsheim. The oak stands in a meadow next to a dirt road. It is one of the largest oaks in Bavaria. A horizontal branch has been supported by wooden posts towards the dirt road for over 100 years. In 1905, the trunk circumference was 8 m at a height of 1 m. According to legend, Saint Wolfgang preached eloquently from this branch. The monumental trunk is very irregular and has strong growths in the lower area. On one side, the trunk has an oval opening that comes from a branch breaking a long time ago. The oak burned in 1878 and 1909. In 1909, it burned on St. Wolfgang's Day. The crown is formed by a few, quite large branches. Holes can be seen everywhere in the branches, which come from smaller branches that have broken off. The vitality is still quite good considering the relatively old age of the oak.

“The veneration of Mary in its various forms is part of Catholic piety. It is impossible to imagine the life of the Church without the rosary, without the Marian month of May, without the Marian feasts and without the numerous depictions of Mary.” (Julius Cardinal Döpfner, * 1913 + 1976)

Beautifully located on a hill with a wide view. Invites you to take a break.

The wonderful tree has certainly been marked as a highlight many times. Today and now it was a highlight for me. Recommended in every season. I'm looking forward to autumn.

Next to the chapel and rest area there is a small enclosed spring with clear and lime-poor water. Locals like to draw this and find it among other things. Use for making coffee.

A place to rest, actually ....... only it tends more and more to a "tourist destination", unfortunately. Please take care of the tree and take your rubbish with you or at least dispose of it in the trash cans
