The Sobieski Pine in Żołynia is an impressive natural monument and the thickest single-trunk Scots pine in Poland. Its trunk has a circumference of 442 cm and a height of up to 14.5 m. The tree is estimated to be around 250 years old, although some doubt this, pointing to comparisons with other ancient pines in the country. According to local legend, it was under this pine that Jan III Sobieski rested on his way to the relief of Vienna, which adds an additional charm to this place. It is worth cycling here and stopping for a moment by this extraordinary tree - it is an interesting place for lovers of history and nature.

Very strange place, looks a bit spooky, because of the shape of the tree. It's worth seeing for yourself ;)
