For decades, people have been addressing love letters to an oak tree deep in the Dodauer Forest in Germany called the Bridegroom’s Oak. The hope is that a passerby might find their letter, write back and form a connection. Journalist Elliot Stein visited this romantic post office box and talked to the mail carrier who used to deliver these letters and who one day, found a letter that was addressed to him.
If you would like to address your own love letter to the Bridegroom’s Oak, the mailing address is:
Bräutigamseiche,
Dodau 99 Dodauer Forst,
23701 Eutin, Germany
