#ThickTrunkTuesday, you say? *slaps trunk* Here's a fine specimen on the #LüneburgHeath. This bad boy can fit so much f--king oxygen in it! It's good as new, with centuries of experience, AND climate control.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday, I have a symbol of resilience for you: an #oak #tree that is still going strong despite a massive #canker. The tree may be from the late 1500s when the #park was founded as a hunting area and breeding/research compound, today it's next to the moose enclosure of #SababurgZoo.
The tree has a height of around 27 metres and a circumference of more than 6,6 metres (below the canker). The hollow #trunk houses a hornets' nest and visitors are asked to be cautious. As you can imagine, it's a popular photo spot.
