2. Silkebuche
The Silkebuche is a natural tree monument on the edge of the Schorfheide near Groß Schönebeck, east of the Pinnow lakes. The age of the European beech has been estimated at 250 to 300 years. In the summer of 2021, the tree broke apart almost in the middle, one half fell first, and a month later the other half as well. According to information from the Groß Schönebeck Forest District, the fallen tree should remain in place.

The tree was named after a forester's wife.
