An unmissable objective on the way to the Meziad cave, the secular oak from Remetea is an old tree about 600 years old.
The tree belongs to one of the largest oak species in Romania, the pedunculated oak (Quercus robur). This oak grows actively for 200 years, having a longevity that frequently reaches the age of 500-600 years.
The last survivor of a secular forest that once stretched between the villages of Remetea and Meziad, the tree urges you to think of the forests of yesteryear and their stories of outlaws.
Considered a true symbol of Remetea commune, the secular oak about 25 meters high and with a diameter of almost two meters, is located right on the edge of the communal road 764C that connects the center of the village with Meziad.
This tourist objective is located on the route of the T2 cycle route, “A visit to the Meziad cave”.
