September 29, 2025, Napoleon Oak

The Napoleon Oak (Dąb Napoleona) – a now-defunct natural monument, this English oak growing in Zabór was the thickest tree of its species in Poland. It burned down on November 15, 2010, most likely set on fire by vandals. Its circumference was 1,052 cm (at a height of 1.3 meters from the highest point of the tree's base). At 22 meters high, the oak is estimated to have been an acorn tree around 1300 (its age is 660-700 years). The tree had a large hollow inside that could accommodate a dozen people at once. The tree's habit was typical of trees growing in open spaces (a massive trunk and spreading crown) – different from, for example, the Białowieża oaks, such as the Car Oak or the Jagiełło Oak. Before the war, it was listed among 78 natural monuments in the Zielona Góra district. In 1920, the then Princess Hermine von Schönaich-Carolath of the Reuss family personally named the tree after Professor Theodor Schube (a German botanist and nature conservationist who studied Silesian natural monuments and authored, among other works, the Waldbuch von Schlesien). After her husband's death, the Princess became the second wife of former Emperor Wilhelm II in 1922, receiving the title of Empress. This brought the oak fame both locally and throughout Silesia. In 1936, the tree was listed in the "Book of Nature Conservation" kept by the starost of Zielona Góra. The tree's Polish name comes from a legend that Napoleon Bonaparte rested under its branches after crossing the Oder River during his expedition to Russia in 1812. Before it finally burned down, the oak was set on fire several times by vandals.

Along the former railway line, currently by the "Kolej na rower" bicycle path, there are 4 English oaks of outstanding size. The most impressive of them measures 320 cm at breast height. This thickness qualifies it for recognition as a natural monument. The others are not much worse. They were planted about 120 years ago. It is very likely that they are the same age as the railway line no. 371 Żagań - Wolsztyn. It is worth paying attention to them during a bicycle ride.

During the Silesian foresters' congress in 1895, 3 oaks were planted near the former forester's lodge of the Przyborów Forest District: Katarzyna, Matylda and Mikołaj. "Katarzyna" commemorated Katharina Emma Jenny Helena von Reichenbach-Goschuetz, (1861-1941) the second wife of Karol Ludwik Erdmann Ferdinand V, Prince of Siedlisko and Bytom. "Matylda" commemorated Matylda Gruchwitz-Lilliendahl (1825-1909), wife of Aleksander Gruchwitz - a famous factory owner from Nowa Sól. The person of Matylda Gruschwitz is associated with the large-scale, famous donations of the Gruschwitz family for social purposes. "Nicholas" was dedicated to Nikolaus Prince von Handjery (1836-1900), doctor of law, president of Legnica until 1894, whom the German emperor entrusted with delivering congratulations on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the founding of Nowa Sól. Currently, only two are still standing. Due to the risk of falling onto the roadway, it was necessary to cut down one of them.
