König-Ludwig-Eiche, Natural monument tree in Bad Brückenau, Germany.
König-Ludwig-Eiche is an ancient oak tree in Bad Brückenau known for its impressive size and structure. The wide-spreading canopy, thick trunk, and overall proportions make it a dominant natural feature that draws immediate attention when you approach the site.
Records of this oak date back to 1780 when it was already established as a landmark. The tree became closely associated with the royal visits during King Ludwig's spa treatments in the region.
The tree is named after King Ludwig I of Bavaria and serves as a gathering place where both locals and visitors come together. People naturally gather in this spot to rest, talk, and experience a connection to the area's history.
The tree stands near the spa town center and can be easily reached via walking paths. Information boards at the site provide context, and benches nearby allow visitors to rest and enjoy the surroundings.
Steel supports have been installed to preserve the tree's stability as it ages. Specialists estimate the oak could be anywhere between 370 and 700 years old, making it a living window into centuries of history.
