Tausendjährige Eiche, Ancient oak tree at Schloss Nagel, Germany.
The oak tree extends over 12 meters in circumference and reaches a height between 12 and 14 meters near Schloss Nagel.
Hans Wilhelm von Thümmel, minister of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, selected this oak as his final resting place and was buried within its trunk in 1824.
The oak represents the connection between nature and human legacy, serving as a symbol of endurance through centuries of German history.
Visitors can access the oak through walking paths around Schloss Nagel, where regular environmental checks maintain the tree's condition.
The hollow trunk of this oak contains the remains of a minister who planned his own burial inside the tree during the Enlightenment period.
