Here at the old oak tree there is an information board and a bench. Beautiful view.

Rest area with a beautiful view 👍🏼

Slightly hidden under the rocks

Another ancient tree that just leaves me in awe. Who will have come by here?

Natural monument No. 111 of the Birkenfeld district The Krummenau Imperial Oak is certainly one of the most impressive trees in the entire Hunsrück. At the beginning of the 90s the oak was subjected to “tree surgical renovation”. Rotten branches were removed and deep cracks, some of which were caused by lightning strikes, were sealed with a special compound. Today it can be seen that this measure has brought only moderate success. At that time (1990) the tree was estimated to be around 370 years old. This means that the oak is likely to “crack” today at the 400 year mark. The trunk circumference is now approx. 6.43 meters (measured 1 meter above ground level on September 18, 2011 on the occasion of this year's fruit wine hike). The height is estimated to be 25 meters.

A beautiful rest area. The return journey along the Song Trail begins here. The helicopter landing pad is just a few steps further towards Starkenburg.
