Dąb Jan, a pedunculate oak, stands in Miodowice; Camenz Castle, by contrast, is part of the history of the surrounding area. This distinction helps put a stay in context: the tree is located in Miodowice, while the castle stood on the boundary of the present-day villages of Przybiernów, Miodowice and Łożnica. Nature and history complement one another without describing the same place. The focus thus shifts from an individual tree to a historical context that extends beyond Miodowice.

Dąb Jan: pedunculate oak and natural monument

Dąb Jan is a pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) with a trunk circumference of 500 cm, or five metres. This figure describes the circumference of the trunk, not the tree’s height or age. It therefore provides a specific measure of Miodowice’s natural heritage. Dąb Jan was designated a natural monument by a resolution dated 29 December 2025, which was published on 14 January 2026. The species, circumference and status complement one another: the botanical name identifies the tree, the circumference states its measurement, and the designation defines its status. Those interested in natural monuments will find in Dąb Jan a clearly identified example that can be described both botanically and by its specific circumference.

A comparison by trunk circumference

Dąb Stefan is also designated a natural monument in the municipality of Przybiernów. It is likewise a pedunculate oak, with a trunk circumference of 460 cm. The resolution concerning Dąb Stefan is dated 29 December 2025. Compared with Dąb Jan’s 500 cm, this makes a difference of 40 cm. The two figures can therefore be compared directly: they refer to the same tree species and the same measurement. The locations, however, are different: Dąb Jan is located in Miodowice, while Dąb Stefan is in the municipality of Przybiernów. This comparison adds a municipal perspective to the local natural heritage while focusing on measurable trunk circumference.

Camenz Castle: history in the surrounding area

Camenz Castle offers a historical perspective on the area. It stood on the boundary of the present-day villages of Przybiernów, Miodowice and Łożnica and was mentioned in 1269. According to historical accounts, it was divided equally between a prince and the Bishop of Kamień. It probably fell into ruin by the end of the 13th century. The mention in 1269 and its probable decline by the end of the century mark two distinct points in the castle’s history. The reported division of ownership adds another dimension to the historical context. Camenz is thus a landmark in the area around Miodowice, while Dąb Jan is the natural landmark located in the village itself.

Two different themes can therefore shape your choice of destination: a natural monument in Miodowice with a precisely stated circumference, and the history of a castle on the boundary of present-day villages. When looking for a holiday apartment in Miodowice, you can use this distinction to help choose your location: are you more interested in the specific natural landmark or the historical perspective in the surrounding area?
