- Abstract
There are a lot of interesting, momentous trees in the Carpathian Basin: ornamental trees imported from all over the World, old and great ones, rare or beautiful ones. Among these, probably the most interesting ones are those which preserve memories, traditions and folk legends. These trees, besides preserving legends, deserve recognition due to their size and age as well. Legends and folk customs are nowadays preserved only by old trees in many places. They are the last witnesses of our historical tree cult. The old and great trees are valuable and irreplaceable elements of natural heritage, their listing, studying and protection are essential tasks of nature conservation. The trees which have been presented are good examples of trees surrounded by a great attention. The measurement and documentation (listing) of the unique landscape values is also becoming more popular and even compulsory in some countries. It helps in the process of preservation and publicity. The legends, memories and stories have to be preserved and collected, as if the great trees are gone, these will be the last remains (together with the photos and statistic data).
