The Old Elm Tree is one of the symbols of the town of Pavel Banya. The Ancient tree was included in the list of the protected natural areas. Unfortunately, in the early 90s, due to sickness of Elms as a tree specie, many of the trees in entire Europe, including that in Pavel Banya, wither.
In 2002 a group of local residents take initiative to preserve the ancient elm in the town as a cultural monument. In 2003, on the occasion of 125th anniversary of the town of Pavel Banya, the elm has become a monument. Talented local woodcarver Ivan Bubev carved beautiful wood-carving over the trunk.
