Hike to the 500-year-old-tree

Yeah, so we’re pretty convinced after two hikes around the hills behind Bishqem that the 500-year-old-tree is a myth, or we saw it and it wasn’t that impressive… either way, we got some good hiking out of it. We had a group of little boys lead us to what they thought was the 500-year-old-tree and it looked like it was only a few years old. We continued up the hills and instead of finding this tree we ended up finding a fhstat i vogel or a small village in the hills of Bishqem. We past a pretty large and beautiful graveyard at the top of one hill and it is amazing to think that the people that were buried there probably lived their entire lives on that hill.
