Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests - Rrajca Postkarte

UNESCO WHS Serie Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe Rrajca, Shebenik-Jablanica National Park This transboundary stretches over 12 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 kontinent is related to the tree’s adapability and tolerance of different clic, geographical and physical conditions.
