This is

the national tree of Denmark, we have whole forests of them, so they can grow at our low altitudes. In East Jutland they grow right down to the edge of the sea, making for a very pretty contrast.

Thank you for adding these interesting facts. In the Bieszczady Mountains and in the Low Beskid the beech tree is the most abundant in the forests. Greetings Henryk
