King's Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the outskirts of Volkenroda, it is said to have been mentioned in the 10th century in connection with the monastery. One of the outstanding giant trees of the Unstrut-Hainich-Kreis is the "1000 year old" oak from Volkenroda. It is one of the most powerful tree figures in the whole of Thuringia. Fröhlich (1994) describes her as the "probably strongest oak of Thuringia". It is also called "king oak" or "thick oak". It is a huge stalk oak (Quercus robur L.) and it can be assumed that it is an old hat oak from the heyday of the neighboring Cistercian monastery.

Volkenroda Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The Volkenroda monastery complex with its Christ Pavilion from Expo 2000 is the starting point or destination of the Loccum-Volkenroda pilgrimage route. The monastery has pilgrim accommodation, a restaurant and a monastery shop. Services are celebrated in the monastery church and there is a wide spiritual program. Our pilgrimage started here with quite a delay because we were taking in the diversity of the complex - so: take your time and find peace!
