Kotelské lípy, Ancient linden grove in Osečná, Czech Republic
Three monumental linden trees form a natural ensemble, with the largest specimen reaching 25 meters in height and 970 centimeters in trunk circumference.
The grove dates back to approximately 8 AD and survived numerous conflicts, including the Hussite raid of 1444 and peasant attacks in 1680.
The trees represent an enduring symbol of local resistance against uranium mining projects in the Podještědí region of the Czech Republic.
Visitors can reach the grove by following the marked tourist path from Osečná, turning left onto an asphalt road before the village ends.
According to local records, the hollow trunk of the main tree once provided shelter for 30 children during a heavy rainstorm.
