Dąb Mieszko, Monumental oak tree in Kończyce Wielkie, Poland
Dąb Mieszko is a giant oak tree standing in Kończyce Wielkie that ranks among the largest specimens of its kind in the region. The trunk impresses with its massive proportions and reveals an age spanning centuries.
The tree received legal protection as a natural monument in 1935 and was later named after a medieval prince from the local area. This naming honors both the forest's importance and the region's past.
Local stories link the tree to a moment when Polish warriors sought shelter beneath its branches. This connection to the region's past gives the oak special meaning for people living nearby.
The tree stands near a palace park and is reachable on foot from Dolna Street. A daytime visit works best when sunlight highlights the full scale of this natural wonder.
Deep within the trunk lies a natural cavity that sits several meters above ground level. This hollow has been secured with protective measures to maintain the overall health of the tree.
