Breite Oak Tree Reserve, Nature reserve with ancient oaks in Sighișoara, Romania
The protected area spans 82 hectares and contains several hundred oak trees scattered across a natural plateau near Sighișoara Medieval Citadel.
Local Saxon communities established this oak meadow between six and seven centuries ago as a gathering place for celebrations and community events.
The reserve represents a traditional Romanian woodland management system, where oak trees provided resources while maintaining open grassland for grazing.
Visitors can reach the reserve through a forest road from DN14 highway or by following marked trails from Sighișoara's Cornești district.
Some of the oak trees in the reserve measure up to 700 years old, with trunk circumferences reaching exceptional dimensions for European oak specimens.
