The oak tree stands on the state road 1238 at the point where you can also get to Zemling via the flat summit of the Manhartsberg. It is decorated with a statuette of the Holy Mary. According to legend, a disgraced Swedish officer fled from being shot at this spot during the Thirty Years' War. Out of gratitude, he later shot a silver bullet into the trunk of the oak tree. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silberne_Eiche

It is protected as a natural monument because, according to legend, a disgraced Swedish officer was able to hide in the branches of an oak tree at this spot during the Thirty Years' War and thus escape being shot. As a thank you, he is said to have later shot a silver bullet into the tree. Rumor has it that the silver bullet is still hidden under a root.

Late Renaissance residential palace with a medieval core. Today privately owned and bookable as an event location. The castle was first mentioned in 1072. The building structure has existed since 1680 with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Unfortunately, the access road is signposted with an absolute driving ban. But I think I can vaguely remember that the additional sign that once existed and had fallen down in the meantime said "except for cyclists" 🤔😉😁
