Snowy trees are not only rewarding, but also dangerous. A step to disaster was also taken on the way to the Monument to the Three Crosses.
Here the road was blocked by snow resistant pine trees. Another fallen pine smashed the newly installed railings on the Mountain Park stage for spectators.

After destroying the earth with fire and a sword, returning to Livonia, the broken tree killed the Earth Marshal of the Livona Order – Andrius Štenbergietis (Earth Marshal – Deputy Master of the Order, who was responsible for the Army of the Order) .
