Chudobínská borovice, Important tree in Dalečín, Czech Republic

The Scots pine stands on a rocky promontory along the left bank of the Vír reservoir, reaching over 20 meters above water during low levels.

This 350-year-old pine tree received its name from the village of Chudobín, which was submerged during the construction of the Vír dam.

Local narratives tell of violin sounds coming from the tree at night, attributed to strong winds flowing through the valley near the reservoir.

The tree remains in a strict protection zone around the Vír water reservoir, requiring visitors to observe it from designated viewpoints on the opposite shore.

The pine earned first place in the European Tree of the Year 2020 competition with 47,226 votes, representing Czech environmental conservation efforts.
