Dąb Dunin, Natural monument oak tree in Przybudki, Poland
The Dunin Oak is a protected natural monument in Przybudki at the edge of Białowieża Forest. Its distinctive shape developed after a lightning strike damaged the trunk and altered its growth pattern.
The tree dates to the 17th century and represents one of the last remnants of the ancient Ladzka Forest that once covered this region. Its long existence connects it directly to the forest-rich past of the area.
The tree is named after poet Wincenty Dunin-Marcinkiewicz and has appeared in various artistic works. It features on album covers and has been featured in films about ancient trees.
The tree is located near Przybudki village at the forest edge and is easily accessible, though the area around the trunk is protected. Visitors should be respectful and observe any barriers, as the tree is vulnerable to further damage.
The tree was named European Tree of the Year in 2022, receiving over 180,000 votes from across the continent. This award made it a symbol of appreciation for ancient natural monuments across Europe.
