BUKKABRANY VILLAGE MUMMIFIED FOREST : BUKK NATIONAL PARK : WONDERFUL PLACES IN HUNGARY #18

Bukki Nemzeti Park 

In 2007 in the village of Bukkabrany, archaeologists discovered that beneath the ground at 60 meters (around 200 feet) down the trunks of swamp cypress trees.  These have been dug out and are on display at the visitors center of Bukk National Park.

According to this article that appeared via Rueters the trees were living at a time when the Carpathian basin was a fresh water lake.

RUETERS: HUNGARY : CYPRESS TREES RARE FOUND "Instead of petrifying -- turning to stone -- the wood of 16 Taxodium trees was preserved in an open-cast coal mine allowing geologists to study samples as if they were sections cut from a piece of living wood."

*** The village itself is being considered for a Paleo Park (and I don't mean the diet!)
