In Smiltyne, near the Old Tavern dune hill and the primary school of the same name, there is an ordinary oak tree. He is about 180-200 years old. Called Vilhelm. The history of the tree planting is unclear. The name is associated with the German Emperator (1861-1888) Wilhelm I. The custom of planting East Prussian nominal trees has today been almost erased from the cultural expression of the land. Many trees and commemorative greenery were destroyed or decayed due to old age.
