    The mother beech is an approximately 120-year-old natural monument. Unfortunately, their days are numbered. The tree had to be secured with a steel cable because he threatened to fall. Due to fungal attack and rot, it can not be kept alive for much longer. If you still want to see this monument, you should go or hike soon.

    Unfortunately, today you can only admire the tree stump of the once magnificent mother beech. The tree was felled a few years ago.
