Kattholzeiche, Historic oak in Belau, Germany
The Kattholzeiche oak stands along the path from Gut Perdöl to Perdöler Mill, measuring 13.16 meters in circumference at one meter height.
During the 1970s, the oak suffered damage when fire was set inside its hollow trunk, leaving burn marks that remain visible to this day.
The name Kattholzeiche refers to the former settlement of Kattholz, which existed near the tree and housed 117 residents in 13 buildings during the 19th century.
Visitors can reach the oak through walking routes from Belau or Bornhöved, combining the tree visit with stops at Schierensee lake swimming spots.
The trunk's massive circumference results from extensive outgrowths caused by repeated grazing of young shoots by livestock throughout its early years.
