Jakubova Voľa, Slovakia

Jacob's Ox "Tree of Love"

The first written mention of the village of Jakubová Voľa from 1315 says that in 1312 King Charles Róbert of Anjou gave the nobleman Rikolf a forest south of the village of Červenica, above the right bank of the Torysa River, for his military merits, among other things. Soon they began to build a village on the donated property. The village was named Jakubova Ves (Jacabfolua).

South above Jakubová Vola is a hill with a distinct plateau and with the local name Hradisko. In the past, during the post-Moravian period, there was a fortified hill fort.

Today in the village, a frequently visited tree also attracts attention. The tree is called the "Tree of Love" by the locals because of the shape in which it grows. In the shape of a heart.

Its coloring throughout the seasons is breathtaking, as is the idea of the residents to create a little piece of love for their village.
