Age: 300 years
Region: Dalków, Gaworzyce commune, Lower Silesia, Poland

A heart that unites

The beech tree grows in a historic park. It is called "Heart" for 3 reasons: growing in the central part of the Dalkowskie Hills, with its red-coloured leaves resembling the color of a heart, it gathers people under its branches. Concerts, reading clubs and Catholic Masses were held here. Over 5,000 people have taken part in horticultural and sylvotherapy workshops here. Tourists think of wishes and throw peanuts into the hole in the tree, believing that the tree makes dreams come true.
