Unfortunately, an ancient beech tree had to be felled because it was attacked by the honey fungus, causing branches to break and the bark to peel off. Shit Happens

The beech tree had already lasted 200 years. The beech tree's stability was so badly affected by the honey fungus that it had to be felled. The beech tree could have fallen on the Antonius Chapel or walkers, but the risk was too great for the forestry authority.
