This is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the largest and oldest oak in the Upper Rhine region. Despite its exceptional size (nearly 7 m in circumference), it is not in great shape due to age and the presence of a spruce forest around it.
It's age and initial spread-out shape shows that this oak was born and lived in an open pasture context that turned into forest a few decades ago. This oak is on private forest land but is clearly visible from the forest path.
This tree witnessed the Peasants' War and was already growing vigorously during the Thirty Years War. Please note the immediate proximity of the site to the beautiful ruins of Morimont Castle.

Hike around Oberlarg village. Things to see on the walk: Morimont Castle, Ebourbettes Farm made famous by General Giraud's escape, the Manlefelsen Cave archeological site, and one of the last fording places in Alsace.
