Do you also find yourself staring at a tree and losing track of time?

Nº 1 on the daily year-end countdown of Sweden’s 🇸🇪 stoutest Oaks is Kvilleken!
It’s considered to be Sweden's oldest and largest tree, if not the largest oak in all of Europe in terms of girth. It measures 14 meters in circumference and is at least a thousand years old.
