According to councilor Jan Mencwel, who was the first to publicize the matter in May 2025, the Warsaw Council unanimously adopted the application for the Geralt Oak to become a natural monument and – as a result – become an even more valuable attraction of Warsaw’s Praga.

The tree won this honor not only because of its impressive size – 22 meters high and 4 meters in circumference – but also because of its legendary appearance in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The Hanged Man’s Tree, which we see at the first entrance to Velen, was inspired by the “Geralt Oak”.

  1. Pomyślałem, że Mencwel nie jest prawdziwym nazwiskiem tylko przerobionym z Mentzena. 🤭
