Buk v Mokřicích

Agenot recorded
Girth4.1 m
SpeciesEuropean Beech

A beech 4.10 metres round stands in open country outside Mokřice, a hamlet belonging to the small town of Krásná Hora nad Vltavou, and according to OpenStreetMap somebody has put a picnic table right beside it. The Czech nature conservation agency, AOPK, lists it as a memorial tree under the simplest name possible, Buk v Mokřicích, the beech at Mokřice. That entry is the whole of its paperwork. We found no plaque story, no founding legend and no local history page, which is unusual for a Czech tree that made the national list. What the register does keep is the girth, and 4.10 metres is a lot of beech for a tree standing out in the fields of the Příbram district rather than in a castle park or an old forest. So this one arrives without a story attached and has to be judged on its trunk alone, which is a test it passes. We have to be straight about two gaps. Nobody has published its age, and we would rather leave the field empty than guess. And we found no dated photograph of it at all, only the register entry and two pictures of unknown date, so we cannot say when anyone last reported it standing. The register itself records no loss. If you walk out to Mokřice, tell us what you find, and bring a tape measure if you fancy checking the state's number.

Near the hamlet of Mokřice, part of Krásná Hora nad Vltavou, Příbram District You can recognise it by the trunk, 4.10 metres round, a big beech out in open country. It stands near the hamlet of Mokřice, at the spot where OpenStreetMap marks a picnic table.

Likely free, rural open ground: OpenStreetMap records a public picnic table (leisure=picnic_table) at this exact coordinate (via Nominatim reverse lookup), which reads as an ordinary countryside spot rather than fenced private land. No explicit access statement found from any source; treat as an open-countryside assumption rather than a confirmed fact.
