A genuine natural sculpture, this
forked green oak tree
has an
astonishing circumference of over 3 m! It
stands out in the surrounding “guarrigue”
due to its 15 m height.
It is not known how old this tree
is, but it is most probably over a
hundred years old. Unfortunately
it
is not in good health.
This tree has been listed as "outstanding";
it is located in a sunny spot in a typical narrow valley of Mount Alaric.
How to find it: from the village, take the direction to Hamlet
Réquy. At the wine
cooperative, take the
path on the right-hand side. 1800
m
further down are located the ruins of Gabart.
The Big Oak Tree is after the sheepfold
of Gabart. Before
reaching the ruins of Sire, take the
path on the right-hand side, after a stone heap carry on this path… You might end up finding
it, otherwise, ask
for help!
