This oak does not stand on a slope, as the name might suggest. No, in the late Middle Ages the villains, bag cutters, oath breakers and all sorts of other bad guys dangled here.

A beautiful tour almost entirely through the forest.
You feel like you are in the valley behind the valleys.
It's mostly on well-developed forest paths which, like today, are easy to walk on even in bad weather.
Because of the sometimes very poor network coverage, you should download the tour at home beforehand.
