In reality this only 7-800 years old oak, but the peoples sad it’s thousand years old. According to local legend the first ruler of Hungary, Árpád tied his horse to this tree. Unfortunately two from three major boughs broke and crashed to the ground on 11 April 2007. Experts are working to save the gigantic oak but afraid it might die.
Valójában ez egy 7-800 éves tölgy, de az emberek azt mondják, hogy ezer éves. A néphit szerint Árpád fejedelem a lovát kötötte ehhez a fához. 2007 április 11-én a tölgy három hatalmas ága közül kettõ letört. A hatalmas fa megmentésén szakemberek dolgoznak, de félõ, hogy el fog pusztulni.
