Un loc frumos și liniștit. La ieșirea din localitate se face un drum de piatră pe care se merge cam 2km și ajungi într-o mică parcare. De aici la pas pe pășune printre stejari seculari ajungi la cel mai vechi arbore de pe teritoriul României. Locul este bine păstrat, amenajat cu indicatoare și e perfect pentru relaxare. Ar fi minunat să mai prindă încă 900 de ani, cu toate că pe alocuri se usucă. Know it is easy to find if you use and respect the signs from the main street to the tree. Best tip: First on the right just outside the village of Mercheasa. From the main is a paved only with rocks The can advertise it more. Road is bad and the parking is just a field. Great serene and quiet place. Tip: have a picnic there and imagine what that trei has seen across the 930+ years since it was there A bit of history: The oak from Mercheaşa, Brașov county, is famous throughout the area, and the locals want everyone to come and admire its greatness. The oak has collected the stories of the village for 900 years, being the witness of the founding of Transylvania. At the edge of the village of Mercheaşa, on a hill where today the cattle and sheep of the local people graze, an old oak stands steadfast. An ordinary oak needs 120 years to reach a diameter of 70 centimeters. It has a diameter of 9.3 meters and a height of over 21 meters, which proves that the oak is over 900 years old. The huge trunk is what actually shows us how old the Mercheaşa oak is. And that's because the has a circumference of over 9 meters and cannot be surrounded by less than 7 people. The oak could not remain unnoticed, so in 2009 an association from Perşani put it on the list of the most spectacular trees in Romania. The Old Man of the Carpathians, as the oak from Mercheaşa was nicknamed, won the "Oldest in Romania" competition in which it competed with 27 other trees from the country. Since then, representatives of the Forestry have fenced it off and are trying to protect it from the animals that graze in the area. This is the 1 day trip that you have to make to understand how big the oak really is. The walk is easy and 100% you will be stunned by the greatness of the tree. The silence of the nature is calming and be mindful and try to let others enjoy it too. If you find garbage please try and pick it up and take it in the village. Thank you. Un taram magic 💫 Very old oak tree. There is a fire that brings you close to the tree. From there there is a 10-15 minute walk through a field, but nothing to difficult. Would recommend to visit in the fall since the colours are very beautiful. Nice place. Good for running. You can find many trails there and you also can go for a simple walk with your child there. There is also a competition organized in the end of october - Mercheasa Gorun Trail A bit complicated to get there: when you exit Mercheasa, there is a on the right, you need to follow it and keep right and the crossroad, you leave your car somewhere on the field then you go on foot, pay attention to the arrows that guide you, they are small and you can easily miss them. The entire area is magical, with old oak trees but the one you are seeking has a fence around it. Absolutely fantastic experience. Gorunul din Transilvania, 900 de ani sau chiar mai mult!!! I a văzut multe,, bătrânul,,la vița lui! Very nice place, it is impressive for sure! The google maps does not take you to the right turn, if coming from the village go out of it and it is the 1st on the right, a rock marks the turn. I could die in this place. We were lucky to be alone in the area, we enjoyed the silence. There is something special with this place. You have to see in order to understand. Peaceful and quiet place. Sunset was the best moment spent here because of the amazing birds concert. It’s a place you must visit and enjoy atleast one time in your life. They are many oaks but this one is 900 years old. Great place to conect with nature. O parte a unui loc minunat pentru intreaga familie, Geoparcul Carpaterra. O zi minunata petrecuta in zona Racoș It's a beautiful and quiet place and all the oaks are very beautiful to see. The Old Carpathian it's indeed impressive and the nature around it is amazing. Unfortunately, we didn't had the chance to stay too long as there were a lot of European beewolfes flying around. When we got close to the Old Carpathian, the humming from inside of it was very loud and we decided to not get too close. The to the oaks is awful and poorly flagged and after arriving in the place where you can leave the car you feel lost at the beginning as you don't know in wich direction to walk to reach to the Carpathian (even if it's literally 5 min walk :) ) Frumos , un pic periculos , stâni cu oii în jur Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
