HILLS OF OLIVES

Walk along a peaceful path through olive trees located few meters from our farm

These grand trees in Roshnik  Hills have been standing tall for generations. path winds through a grove of grass that looks like green satin, ancient-looking trees twisting, proud of their many years on the planet. Roshnik  Hills hosts plenty of local flora and fauna, but these olive trees always seem to grab attention.. In addition to being disease and fire-resistant, olive trees can live to be very old. They have strong root systems that can repair a tree that’s been nearly destroyed above ground. The older the tree, the more gnarled the trunk becomes, so perhaps these twisting trunks are really badges of strength. Some area olive trees are more than 1,000 years old.
