Now We Are Talking Oak
HANNA'S WALK 
I like all trees, especially old ones. I enjoy thinking about the events that have happened during their lifetime.
Hi Linda. They are fascinating in their expression, the old trees. I totally agree.
Imagine if we could stream all the years right from our time reckoning. Both interesting and scary at the same time.
An alternative would be a skilled historian 🙂
All the best,
Hanna
That’s ancient, Hanna. Think about all the events that have happened during the tree’s lifetime. That’s hard to fathom. May it continue to thrive.
Hi Tanja. The tree witnessed the sailing of the Viking ship The Sea Stallion from Glendalough on Roskilde fjord.
It is estimated that the tree stood on a meadow by itself due to its height and thickness: 14 meters in circumference and 17 meters high.
The Vikings used oak for their ships 😐
The tree is still alive but weak.
All the best,
Hanna
That’s so impressive, Hanna. I imagine the tree is very tired by now, and it has the right to “retire” if it desires!
King Oak can rightly retire, Tanja 🙂
The succession is secured through a successful inoculation.
The new fine oak tree is 9.2 meters high and the circumference is 1.22 meters. It was planted in November 1986. The name is Danneregen
I wonder what the world is like in 4.020? 🤞
What this tree must have seen during his/her life! 🙂
Hi Peter. Considering the location of the tree, it probably had a fantastic view of the fjord and the magnificent ships of the Vikings ❤
Well what a thrill to sit under the oak back then 🙂
Stay safe!!
Hanna
Glad to have been introduced to him!
Hi Leya. The tree is worth a visit. It’s great to stand there and imagine all the eras 🙂
All the best,
Hanna
Someday I will!
