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.

To the north of L'Orée-d'Écouves, this place takes up the name of the town perfectly. Located on the edge of the Écouves forest, on a pretty tree-lined road, it offers superb landscapes over the surrounding countryside.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. " (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: "Crosses of the way ... Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

A remarkable crossroads in the Ecouves forest with its giant sculpted sequoia. The latter, a victim of lightning, was doomed to disappear. It was decided to give it a second life, in the form of a totem pole this time! The sculptures represent a ranger, an owl and an eagle, guardians of the forest.
