Two truly impressive oak trees, estimated to be around 500 years old. Their trunk circumferences measure 4.75 m and 4.87 m, respectively. This translates to diameters at breast height (DBH) of 1.51 m and 1.55 m. Consequently, they are protected as natural monuments. It's also wonderful to see how vital they still are. According to the information panel, it is believed that court was once held here. Unfortunately, there is no written proof of this. However, it was indeed common practice to hold court in the open air so that God could be a witness. One tree served as the place of judgment, and a neighboring one as the executioner's tree, should the verdict be deemed appropriate.
