Dub v lese Sedliska

Dub v lese Sedliska is an oak tree in Závada at the edge of the Sedlisko forest, standing approximately 25 meters tall. The trunk measures about 4.66 meters in circumference, showing the solid strength of an ancient specimen.

The tree was granted protected status in 2009 and scientific estimates suggest it has lived for more than 250 years. This extended lifespan makes it a living record of the region's natural history.

The oak is known locally by its Czech name and stands at the forest edge where visitors encounter it during woodland walks. It serves as a natural landmark in the community's daily landscape.

A protected zone extends approximately 30 meters around the tree, which visitors should respect during their visit. Reaching it is straightforward as part of a forest walk, but maintain distance to support ongoing conservation efforts.

Lightning struck this tree in the past, leaving marks on some branch tips that have gradually dried since the impact. Despite this injury, the oak continues to grow and display remarkable resilience against natural forces.
