Perhaps the small botanical problem only exists in the German translation that the komoot system displays via Google, but: The highlight name refers to an "oak," but the text then refers to a "mammoth tree." But aside from this minor linguistic confusion, a beautiful carving can be found at this point in the forest.

A building constructed in the 11th and 12th centuries. It was then just a simple chapel built on a temple, which was subsequently remodeled numerous times over the centuries. The choir, narrower and higher than the rest, is believed to have been built on tombs from the old cemetery, from which a 10th-century Merovingian sarcophagus made of Roussard sandstone was extracted and is on display outside the church.
