Germany’s Most Romantic Post Office Box

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
