Facts and practical information

The Momart oak stood at about 335 meters above sea level within the natural subunit No. 144.64 Sellplatte in the Odenwald, about 200 meters east of the eponymous Momart, a district of the town of Bad König in the Odenwaldkreis. The oak, classified as a natural monument, was located in an open field directly at the edge of the sports field on Hohe Straße.

On April 29, 2018, at about 8 pm, the oak tree broke apart and fell onto the surrounding field and the adjacent Hohe Straße. Shortly after the fall became known, a great many Momart residents came to say goodbye to their landmark.

Esotericists count the site among the power places of Leylines.
