Description
The ancient Idols’ Linden has been sawn down, in its place there are only remains of the stump and a piece of the trunk that has been moved a little. In the stump spot new offsprings are growing, which in several decades could bring joy again with the scent of the linden blossoms in the branches of the next generation of the old holy linden.
Narrative
The linden started to wither and fall into decay, and then, after some gardener’s wrong recommendations, it was not adequately sawn, but chopped down instead thinking that new offsprings would spring up. Unfortunately at least some 10 years nothing grew at all and only not long ago weak offsprings started to appear in the old stump’s place.

Comments
Judging by the name of the linden, it could be an ancient cult site. The proprietors of Pedvāle can tell the history of the linden.
