Gašper’s Chestnut in Močilno near Radeče is an impressive natural monument and one of the best-known tree landmarks in the Posavje region. At the Gašper Kišek homestead grows a more than 300-year-old sweet chestnut, protected as a national natural asset because of its exceptional size.
The tree is described in official tourism material as the thickest native chestnut tree in Slovenia. It is about 15 meters tall, with a trunk circumference at breast height of 1060 cm. Its crown has four tops, the central top is dry, and owls nest in its hollow. Despite its age, it still bears fruit abundantly.
