Eikenboom bij hunebed D17 - Rolde, the Netherlands - Exceptional Trees on Waymarking.com

NL

Van hunebedden.nl:

De tweeling D17 en 18 zijn misschien wel de twee meest bekende hunebedden in Nederland. Twee vrij grote hunebedden vlak bij elkaar, uitstekend bereikbaar, onder de rook van Assen. Ze liggen vlak achter de fraaie middeleeuwse Rolder Kerk. Hunebed D17 is niet gerestaureerd. Wellicht is daardoor wel de mooie eikenboom bij het hunebed bewaard gebleven. De boom is namelijk min of meer 'vergroeid' met het het hunebed. De eik bij D17 staat er nog, maar daar is dan alles mee gezegd. Hij is door de bliksem uitgehold, de holte met teer ingesmeerd en met ijzeren pennen in vorm gehouden. Het is een wonder dat-ie nog leeft. Op een afbeelding van 1856 is al een vrij forse eikenboom bij het hunebed afgebeeld (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/D17_(hunebed)#/media/Bestand:Hunebed_van_Rolde_door_Bernardus_Gerardus_ten_Berge.jpg).

From hunebedden.nl:

The twins D17 and 18 are perhaps the two most famous dolmens in the Netherlands. Two fairly large dolmens close together, easily accessible, under the smoke of Assen. They are located right behind the beautiful medieval Rolder Church. Hunebed D17 has not been restored. This may well have preserved the beautiful oak tree at the dolmen. The tree is more or less 'grown' with the hunebed. The oak at D17 is still there, but then everything has been said. It has been eroded by lightning, smeared the cavity with tar and kept in shape with iron pins. It's a wonder he's alive. An image from 1856 already shows a fairly large oak tree near the hunebed (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/D17_(hunebed)#/media/Bestand:Hunebed_van_Rolde_door_Bernardus_Gerardus_ten_Berge.jpg).
