The Princess Tree

Rold Forest's most famous tree, the Princess Tree, fell over during the summer storm on 23 July 1994

 

In days gone by, it was believed that the so called ‘eye’-tree could cure rickets if you crawled through the eye.

In 1952, the three princesses Margrethe, Benedikte and Anne Marie all crawled through the eye, and so the three was named the Princess Tree. It was the forest’s most famous tree.

The tree snapped in a storm in 1994 and no longer exists, but in Troldeskoven there is another ‘eye’-tree with two eyes, which can be crawled through.
