Hiking

Only the ruined remains of a long-dead tree remain here. Its bare branches still reach toward the sky, and a partial view of the tree's interior reveals that it is largely hollow. Nevertheless, the former giant tree appears to be considered worthy of preservation and has been designated a natural monument.

Alte Eiche at the Zievel Golf Club. The oak is a natural monument and bears the appropriate identification by means of a sticker.
