    A really strange appearance! You are standing in front of an impressive beech, in which a figure of Christ - the Lord God of Balz - has grown. It is believed that it dates from the late Gothic period, but the origin has not yet been completely clarified. There are many legends surrounding this enigmatic tree.

      A stone Christ figure grown in wicker beech. A place of pilgrimage for many people.
