Legendary tree as a place of execution: The Samerrott is a 266 hectare forest area first mentioned in documents in 1109. The landscape conservation area has been managed as a forest by a forestry cooperative for centuries. The Samerrott is particularly known for its medieval place of execution at the legendary "raven tree". This stood in the center until the middle of the 19th century and is said to have had a circumference of 11 meters and a diameter of 3.5 meters. In 1798 the tree lost its crown in a storm; the stump was later set on fire by vandals. The forest farmers fenced off the former size and planted a new oak tree. https://www.grafschaft-bentheim-tourismus.de/poi/rabenbaum
