Wasserbaum Ockensen, Natural monument in Salzhemmendorf, Germany
The Wasserbaum features a tall wooden overflow pipe covered in moss, with water flowing from its upper end near a mill pond.
The structure originated in 1904 when sawmill owner Hermann Meyer installed a wooden pipe to monitor water levels for his turbine operation.
The site connects to the regional history of water utilization, demonstrating early 20th-century industrial ingenuity in rural Lower Saxony.
Visitors can reach the monument through marked paths and observe the water flow while learning about the formation process of calcareous deposits.
The constant water flow and mineral deposits have transformed the original wooden pipe into a natural formation resembling a tree trunk.
