Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians [kɑrˈpeɪθiənz] and Other Regions of Europe - Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, pain, Switzerland, North Macedonia, Ukraine
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1133
This transnational property includes 93 component parts in 18 countries. Since the end of the last Ice Age, European Beech spread from a few isolated refuge areas in the Alps, Carpathians, Dinarides, Mediterranean and Pyrenees over a short period of a few thousand years in a process that is still ongoing. The successful expansion across a whole continent is related to the tree’s adaptability and tolerance of different climatic, geographical and physical conditions. 2024-08-08
