Praskoleská lípa, Ancient lime tree in Praskolesy, Czech Republic

The Praskolesy lime tree reaches a height of 23 meters and measures 920 centimeters in trunk diameter, standing in the Vysočina region.

Records from 1874 in the Háj magazine first documented this lime tree, which has grown in this location for approximately 800 years.

The hollow trunk of this lime tree contains a reconstructed bell tower, following a local tradition dating back to the late 19th century.

Visitors can reach the tree by taking a 500-meter detour from the yellow-marked hiking path that runs near Kučerovy les forest.

The tree's trunk houses living adventitious roots growing inside its cavity, while maintaining its structural stability through careful preservation methods.
