Mighty Old Oak Tree

Highlight • Natural Monument

A thick trunk and a very wide spreading crown make this already mighty oak tree appear even larger. Unfortunately, dead branches can already be seen from the road.

Beautiful morning walk around the lake at Skirö.
Due to the nature, the many deciduous trees (oaks & beeches), the beautiful lake and the rocky, hilly terrain around it, Skirö is often referred to as "Smaland's garden".
The area and the town of Skirö have been classified by the Swedish state as culturally valuable and worth preserving.
