Salako Pine (Salako Pušis)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Count of Luodžiai Manor, Jurgis Žiuniens, was preparing to leave for France and was selling his manor land. Several peasants from Salakas belonged to his manor and were called luodykščiai. The Count gave these peasants a few hectares of land each. In 1927, the Count presented the peasants with ownership documents at this pine tree. The peasants organized a feast in gratitude. In memory of this, a cross was nailed to the pine tree. Over time, other pine trees were cut down, but the loggers did not know why there was a cross on one of them and left it. Thus, this pine tree, remembering the Count's gift, remained to grow.
