description
The so-called 5-mark oak is located in the Guttau enclosure in the Kellenhusener Forest and is freely accessible.
It is a pedunculate oak about 26 meters high with a trunk circumference of about 6 m, the age of which is estimated to be 350 years. The oak got its name because it served Maximilian Dasio as a model for the design of the face on the 5 Reichsmark coin with the motif of an "oak tree" minted from 1927 to 1933 .

According to another opinion, it takes its name from a Danish king who is said to have rested under it while passing through. The "royal oak" is no longer upright, a storm was its undoing.
