Hrušeň v Drahovicích, Remarkable pear tree in Drahovice, Czech Republic.
This ancient pear tree near Drahovice is a solitary specimen with a massive trunk roughly 1.2 meters (4 feet) in diameter. It stands in a notable location near Stará Kysibelská road in the Karlovy Vary district, easily visible from the surrounding area.
During World War II, bombing in 1944 caused severe burn damage to the tree. Recovery was slow, with the tree finally returning to full vigor in the 1970s.
The tree serves as a gathering spot where neighbors naturally meet and linger on pleasant days. Local people take pride in this living landmark and see it as a symbol of their village's connection to nature.
The tree is located beside a road with easy parking access nearby. Visitors can reach it on foot using marked paths through the Drahovice village, making it straightforward to plan a stop.
Scientists estimate this wild pear tree to be between 250 and 280 years old. This places it among the oldest fruit trees in the entire region.
