Qual è l'albero più antico di Žalgiriai?
The Hermann Sudermann Oak, a three-trunked pedunculate oak at the end of the Zalgiriai heritage trail, the sole natural monument in Nemunas Delta Regional Park, named for the writer whose novella about the local peat-cutters became F.W. Murnau's 1927 film Sunrise. The Pagryniai Oak, 4.3 kilometres away on the southern edge of Silute, is also mapped here.
Three Academy Awards trace back to the bog at the end of this trail. Hermann Sudermann, the writer the oak is named for, stayed often in Zalgiriai and watched the peat-cutters at work here, then wrote their lives into his novella Die Reise nach Tilsit. F.W. Murnau filmed it in 1927 as Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, which took three awards at the first Academy Awards. The tree stands at the far end of the roughly two kilometre trail through that former peat-cutters colony, the reason for the walk rather than a stop along the way. It is also the only natural monument in the whole of Nemunas Delta Regional Park. Three trunks rise from one base, 4.62 metres round between them and 17.6 metres tall. Lithuania placed it under state protection in 2005. Sudermann died in 1928, a year after the film. The colony he wrote about is gone and the cutting has stopped, and the trail now runs through what those workers left behind. Nobody has dated the oak: the girth is a combined figure for three trunks rather than one stem, which makes the usual growth-rate arithmetic unreliable, so the age stays an open question.
