Perhaps the small botanical problem only exists in the German translation that the komoot system displays via Google, but: The highlight name refers to an "oak," but the text then refers to a "mammoth tree." But aside from this minor linguistic confusion, a beautiful carving can be found at this point in the forest.

At this central location in the forest—where six streets meet to form an open space—the brightly lit small sacred monument rises above a slab and a small stone base. The simply crafted wooden cross (without a body), bearing the name "La Croix Madame," stretches toward the sky and is painted white, thus forming a radiant centerpiece within the forest.

The Écouves national forest is located in the Normandy-Maine Regional Natural Park. It is home to abundant game, sessile oaks, beeches and Scots pines, over 15,000 hectares. Its highest point is the Écouves signal, which rises to an altitude of 413 meters. It is the highest peak in Normandy.

If you are looking for a unique destination in Normandy, you should stop to see the Sherman tank in La Ferrière-Béchet. This is an American tank from World War II that was abandoned in the Ecouves forest after being hit by a German shell in August 1944. The tank is today covered in moss and vegetation, creating a striking contrast with its metal structure.
