Old Elm tree in Kienbaum
White elm - Ulmus laevis - girth 633 cm (2017)
What an impressive tree. The mighty, mossy and completely hollow trunk of the elm literally claws into the ground with its strong roots. Like an inaccessible, almost hostile monument of the past and the history of the village. Look here, here I stand and you, you who marvel and admire me, are but a short moment in my long life. I will still be standing here when you will have already passed away.
