      Beautiful old beech. Through the lattice gate it looks like from a fairy tale.

      "The shepherd beech has a trunk circumference of more than 8 m and a widely spreading crown. Its name suggests that shepherds and herds may have sought protection from heat and rain in the past." nabu-kreis-kassel.de/gruppen/altenhasungen/pflanzenwelt
