Germany Kratt-Oaks near Buchholz

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

"Kratt" is a northern German word for a winding, deformed oak tree. Due to unfortunate conditions like wind, barren grounds and branches being cut very often the trees were forced to grow sideways.
There are just a few places left in Germany, like Cuxhaven (Berensch).

Photography Tips

I prefer using a ultrawide lens when shooting this spot, but the trees are right next to a clearing, so a standard lens would do a decent job as well.
