Păltiniș is a commune in Botoșani County, Western Moldavia, Romania.

A small cluster of century-old oak trees (dating approximately from the second half of the 15th century) is located in the neighboring forest of Teioasa, about 3 km (1.9 mi) northwest of Păltiniș.

They roughly mark the halfway point on the route between Suceava (Stephen's seat) and the Hotin Fortress (Khotyn, near Kamyanets-Podilskyi, Ukraine).

Hotin was the strongest fort on the northern border of medieval Moldavia.

Local lore states Stephen the Great stopped over at least once at this forest location; on one particular occasion four acorns were planted "at the corners of Stephen's table", from which acorns the trees ensued.
