Brureika, Natural monument oak in Ullensvang Municipality, Norway
The Brureika oak stands as Norway's largest tree with a circumference of 10.80 meters measured at 1.3 meters above ground level.
The oak received protection status as Lote naturminne on May 21, 1920, marking an early step in Norwegian natural conservation efforts.
Located on Lothe farm near Utne village, this oak represents the connection between agricultural heritage and natural preservation in Norwegian society.
Two iron rods secure the split trunk sections together, ensuring the continued stability of this hollow tree that maintains healthy foliage.
Despite being divided into two parts sharing a common root system, the tree continues to thrive and grow in the Norwegian climate.
