The oak of Skliausčiai growing in the Regional Park of Varniai in the district of Telšiai is dialectally called the strongest tree. The diameter of it reaches 1, 8 meters.
Centenarian oaks used to be worshiped and considered sacred in Lithuania. People used to pray for them. However, not only the gods living there would answer the prayers, but the tree itself used to be beneficial as well. Before the potato cultivation time in the 18th century acorns used to be the main feed for pigs.
