Estonian Widest Tree

in #photography • 5 years ago

Today I'm going forward with posts from the trip I did around a month ago. As the first destination, the next was also a tree and it is Estonian widest tree. This linden is located pretty much in central Estonia, in Rapla county. Access to the place is pretty easy because it is not located in some thick forest. The tree is on the middle of the field, next to the gravel road so no problem there.
I refer it as one tree but it is almost like three trees in one. Almost on the ground this tree branches to 3 separate trees. The total circumference of the tree on the ground level is staggering 8.9 meters. There is also a boulder and tree is partially grown around it.
The linden is also really old. It is said that it should be around 600 years old and since it looks so massive people in history have been a little awe of this tree and they sacrificed ( not sure what ) on this boulder. This tree really looked a little terrifying. There are no leaves on the linden yet because it was earlier in the spring. Here are some shots.

I also found some satanistic candlestick on one boulder there. My brother touched it and it broke so we thought he might be haunted now :D.
