This tree is standing in the South of Germany, not far from Tübingen. There’s something special about it – it has a own, very strong and distinct energy / personality. I walked past it, then returned, and tried to capture it in a picture.
The triangle sign on it marks it as a border point of a “Naturschutzgebiet” – a protected area of enhanced security for nature. There are special laws and regulations for those areas. Somehow it fits that they chose this tree to carry the marker, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were myths about it, with the tree as guardian, or as home for elves or forest ghosts.
