Kongeegen, Ancient oak tree in Nordskoven, Denmark.
The trunk of Kongeegen measures more than 14 meters in circumference and extends into multiple wide-spreading branches across the forest clearing.
Dating back to approximately 250 AD, this oak tree stands as a living witness to Denmark's transformation from Iron Age settlements through Viking periods.
The name translates to King's Oak, referencing the historical account of King Frederik VII and Countess Danner seeking shelter within its hollow trunk.
Visitors need to walk approximately 10 kilometers from the nearest church to reach the tree, as no direct parking facilities exist nearby.
The interior of the tree contains a hollow space large enough to accommodate multiple people, a result of natural decay over centuries.
