Road users have long seen how the approximately 20-meter-high birch tree leans precariously over the road. The thought has crossed many minds that a fierce storm could topple it. The concern has been justified, especially considering that the soil layer of the birch roots in the middle of the island is thin. "Mountains in the day" is visible.
Late on Friday afternoon (28/10), before dusk, the story was all over for the old birch. Chainsaws and fork-tractor did their job. With a big crash, the birch fell in the direction of the cemetery. It turned out that the ravages of time had taken their toll because it was really rotten/rotten. The silkworms will have to find a new tree to sit in during the winter.
