The Naugrubi Tinābele Apple-Tree is local archaeological heritage (State Inspection for Heritage Protection, No 210). No information on the Sacrificial Linden. The threads and ribbons tied into the branches of the Tinābele Apple-Tree prove that it is used for rituals (local people believe that their wish would come true).
Narrative
No recorded folklore materials have been found. The local people cannot tell anything about the site.
Emma Vallija Šļukuma is in charge of tourism activities and planning in Trapene (2 audios). In the Tinābele Apple-Tree they used to tie wool threads and ribbons hoping that their wishes would come true. They brought flowers and food for the dead souls to the Sacrificial Linden, especially at the veļi time (when the ghosts of the dead came to visit in autumn) (from the information by the trees).
