the southern Murg side (corresponds to this highlight) is the beautiful side of the Murg estuary. You can only get here on foot or by bike. There is also a road on the other side of the Murg.

An impressive tree that would certainly have a story to tell. Distinctive waypoint and good for route description with the locals. Actually, everyone here knows the old oak tree like the sandy beach, sailing and paddling club, border point island and Illinger island, etc. etc...
