The tree is dead, but its story lives on. It's hard to imagine that the oak was the only tree standing on this spot.

Location: next to the panoramic path on Jubelsberg The distinctive feature of this pedunculate oak is a crack extending from the base of the trunk to the crown, which widens into a hollow. In March 2017, the city's oldest tree was secured with steel cables. January 2025: Hardly any small branches are visible in the crown. The bark has peeled off in the western part and sounds hollow. The attached steel cables hang loosely in places.

The fruit tree path was created in 1996 as a very special educational trail. The approximately 3 km long circular path invites you to walk, hike or cycle. In 2021, the path was signposted with new educational signs. The signs tell a lot of interesting facts about old fruit varieties as well as native animal and plant species in our region. Along the fruit tree path, the expressive Kraichgau landscape and the view of the picturesque Neidenstein Castle are revealed. The care and maintenance of this educational trail is carried out by the Neidenstein Fruit and Horticultural Association e.V."
