Dąb Jan is a pedunculate oak, botanically known as Quercus robur. Its listed trunk circumference is 500 cm. This refers to the measurement around the trunk, not the tree’s height. Together with the species, this provides a specific description of the natural monument without confusing different measurements.

The designation as a natural monument is based on a municipal resolution. It was approved on December 29, 2025, and published on January 14, 2026. A historical legal note places the tree on plot 734 in the cadastral district of Miodowice. These details distinguish the tree species and its circumference from its legal designation and cadastral location. For travelers interested in individual natural monuments, Dąb Jan offers a clearly identified point of interest in Miodowice.

Another tree designated as a natural monument is Dąb Stefan, also a pedunculate oak. It has a trunk circumference of 460 cm and is designated a natural monument in the municipality of Przybiernów. The relevant municipal resolution is dated December 29, 2025. Compared with Dąb Jan, the difference between the listed trunk circumferences is 40 cm.

For orientation, locations matter as well as measurements: Dąb Jan is located in Miodowice, while Dąb Stefan is in the municipality of Przybiernów. This makes it possible to compare two named trees of the same species without conflating their geographical locations. The circumference is a specific measurement; the location details show the level to which each location reference applies.

Camenz Castle stood at the boundary of the present-day villages of Przybiernów, Miodowice, and Łożnica. Its location is therefore associated with the area near Miodowice. The castle was first mentioned in 1269. According to historical accounts, half belonged to a prince and half to the bishop of Kamień. It probably fell into ruin by the end of the 13th century.

The information outlines a brief historical sequence: the mention in 1269 is followed by the recorded ownership, while its later decline is explicitly described as probable. This makes Camenz Castle a different point of interest from Dąb Jan: the castle relates to medieval history and a village boundary, while the tree is a named natural monument. The castle is associated with the surrounding area, rather than being located solely in Miodowice.

If you are considering Miodowice based on your interests, nature and history are the two main themes. Dąb Jan is the specific natural-monument attraction in the village; Camenz Castle adds a perspective on the nearby area and its medieval history. If you are planning a visit specifically to see either site, check current visitor access in advance.
