Stelmužė Oak, Ancient oak tree in Zarasai District, Lithuania
The Stelmužė Oak measures 3.5 meters in diameter and reaches 23 meters in height with a trunk circumference of 13 meters at its widest part.
Dating back approximately 1,500 to 2,000 years, this oak tree predates the formation of Lithuania and contained remnants of a Napoleonic soldier within its cavity.
The tree served as a sacred location for pagan ceremonies where priests maintained fires and performed rituals with offerings of goats, rye, and mead.
