The Kinburn Spit is a large nature reserve, but it has several especially important protected areas. Volyzhin oak forest is probably the most forbidden of them. Not all locals were here. When asked if it was possible to get there, they answered "We'll have to negotiate. " I don’t know if it was intentional or by mistake, but even Wikimapia incorrectly marked the border of the forest - it shows a neighboring pine plot.

Where ours did not disappear! We set off...In Vasilievka they clarified the way, but as it often happens, they received only a direction. And then we were guided by oaks : -)

We found the entrance, on which it was strictly written that both passage and passage were prohibited. If they could, they would ban flying by air : -). We left the car and went to negotiate ...

The forester's estate was located 100 meters from the strict entrance. It can be seen that the dog barks, the cat walks. But we didn't agree! There was no one to negotiate with. They hesitated, and stomped into the forest.
We found the main oak by accident. It was difficult to enter the forest because of the high and dense undergrowth, nettles and reeds (and we are with children). There are no paths, there are many directions. But we are lucky! We broke through the undergrowth...And we saw the same oak that we saw on the pictures on the Internet!

Next to him, as next to an elephant, you experience some kind of awe and admiration. Usually old trees don't look very good, worn out by time, all wrinkled like centennial old women. But not this oak! This one looks like a man in his prime!

On the way back, I had to meet the forester's wife. What we heard in our direction was worse than mats. From her many words, we knew for sure that we saw exactly that forbidden oak. And the most terrible threat - “I will have to write an explanatory note” does not allow me to sleep peacefully to this day! : -)

The approximate GPS coordinates of the oak are 46.534511, 31.718652 (I think that this place should be open to the public and popular).
