Laus Gade's Beech tells the story of a zealous forester and a dramatic revenge


Laus Gades Bøg (Beech)

The beech is named after a forester Laus Gade, and you will find the tree east of the magic forest area in Rold Skov. It is approx. 200 years old.

Laus Gade was known for his energetic action against poaching.
Reportedly one evening the poachers took an unpleasant revenge. They caught the Forester - and tied him to the beach and let him stand there for a long, cold winter night.

Now only the stump remains.
