Hiking

It is protected as a natural monument because, according to legend, a disgraced Swedish officer was able to hide in the branches of an oak tree at this spot during the Thirty Years' War and thus escape being shot. As a thank you, he is said to have later shot a silver bullet into the tree. Rumor has it that the silver bullet is still hidden under a root.

The oak tree stands on the state road 1238 at the point where you can also get to Zemling via the flat summit of the Manhartsberg. It is decorated with a statuette of the Holy Mary.
According to legend, a disgraced Swedish officer fled from being shot at this spot during the Thirty Years' War. Out of gratitude, he later shot a silver bullet into the trunk of the oak tree.
