A tree worth stopping for.
The Jestřebice linden grows on the grounds of Ranch Jestřebice. AOPK describes it as the tree with the largest trunk circumference in the Benešov area. Its low, mighty trunk divides into four main branches.
It is listed in the Czech nature conservation register under code 105375 and was designated a protected tree on 31 March 2009. The figure of 317 years is the age recorded in the register, rather than a precise new measurement.
AOPK’s 2009 annual report records a circumference of 901 cm, measured 1.3 metres above the ground. This is a historical measurement.
