Wooded circular hike in Schleswig-Holstein.
This beautiful circular walk takes hikers to the groom's oak right at the start - a tree in Dodau Forest that is the subject of stories and legends and was for a long time the only tree in the world with its own postal address. It got its name at the end of the 19th century when the wedding of a young couple took place here, whose relationship was initially forbidden by the bride's father and who secretly exchanged letters through a hole in the tree's branch. Today, you can climb a ladder to the knothole and leave letters there.
