Wurzelfichte, Natural monument in Buckow, Germany.
The Wurzelfichte is a spruce tree in Märkische Schweiz Nature Park with an exposed root system visible along the Sophienfließ stream bank. Its trunks grow from the eroded shore, creating a distinctive form shaped by water and time.
The tree is approximately 180 years old and has survived significant storm damage that altered its shape and exposed its root system. This damage became a defining characteristic of its present form.
The tree holds significance in local nature awareness and appears regularly in regional publications about Brandenburg's woodland heritage. People visit it to experience this living symbol of the area's natural character.
The tree is reached through marked hiking trails in Märkische Schweiz Nature Park and is located within a protected natural area. The best time to visit is from May through October, when trails are drier and the surrounding woodland is greener.
The tree's root cavity is a result of decades of stream erosion, not human creation, and draws photographers and nature observers throughout the year. This natural hollow has become one of the most photographed features of the site.
