Tips from the Community
A truly impressive tree! The three-trunked oak stands right by the path and, due to its size, almost seems like a small meeting point in the middle of nature. Of course, we immediately tried to see if we could embrace it together 😄

This three-trunk oak tree with a hemispherical crown, which has been listed as a natural monument since March 1, 2022, has a circumference of 4.65 m. How many people do you need to hold the tree once? Try it. The name Nelsonweg refers to the deserted village of Nelson, which was founded by the lords of Gut Prechel at the beginning of the 19th century. The name Nelson was chosen because the British admiral Lord Nelson (1758-1805) was also greatly revered as a naval hero in what was then the Kingdom of Hanover. The town of Nelson existed until the mid-19th century.

So there is not much space here. I recommend parking at the church in Brockel and hiking from there into the Trochel.
