Impressive, large pine, which was lost in the course of the years the underground, but nevertheless flourishes well

About 100 year old pine tree that had put down its roots in the sand of a small inland dune.

Over time, wind, rain and also people ensured that the sand disappeared and the strong roots of the tree were exposed. Despite its predicament, the pine is thriving amazingly well to this day. It is about 17m high and has a root circumference of over 20m.

Beyond the Horizon

July 13, 2025

It looks like a mistake of nature – and yet is a masterpiece of survival. Wolzig's burr pine stands like an ancient dancer, balancing barefoot on tiptoes, its exposed roots digging into the sand like fingers. For a hundred years, it has defied wind and man, rain and dune retreat – and seems to have only grown stronger.

Here, in the midst of the Brandenburg pine sea, this tree speaks of steadfastness. Of adaptation. And of the quiet dignity of one who does not complain, but grows. Everyone who stands before it suddenly falls silent. Perhaps because they sense: This pine has understood more about life than many a person with sturdy shoes.
