What a coincidence; this year it's also exactly 200 years ago the Cossacks chased the French away, from what's now called the Netherlands. As a result at a distance of approx. 2500 kilometers away, from this 700-year old oak, we also have roads, a park and (ofcourse) trees in memory of the Cossacks honor. I'm glad I could've donated some money for this beautiful tree.
