Snoegen, Ancient oak tree in Jægerspris Nordskov, Denmark

The trunk of this pedunculate oak measures 8.90 meters in circumference and exhibits a naturally twisted shape that characterizes its structure.

The tree ceased its natural life cycle in 1991 when its last leaves fell, following several seasons of declining health due to fungal infection.

Located in the same forest as Kongeegen and Storkeegen, this tree represents an element of Danish natural heritage spanning over 600 years.

Visitors can reach the tree through an 8-kilometer round trip walk from the designated parking area in Jægerspris Nordskov forest.

The installation of wooden barriers intended to protect the tree may have inadvertently contributed to its decline by affecting its root system.

Location: Frederikssund Municipality

GPS coordinates: 55.90450,12.00010
