The Heart of the Dalkowskie Hills, a breathtaking 300-year-old beech, has won Poland the European Tree of the Year award for the fourth consecutive time.

Standing tall in Dalków's historic park, the deep-red beauty is a beloved symbol for the community.

Visitors also have a quirky tradition: tossing peanuts into a hole in it, hoping for their wishes to come true.

The contest celebrates our relationship with nature by showcasing beautiful and unique trees from across the continent.
