Alej Lindsey Stirling Park
In Hradec nad Moravici, in the Opava district, there is an unusual park named after the American violinist Lindsey Stirling. The alley is situated in the areas between the streets of Opavská, Railway Station and Silesia, in close proximity to the train station, and it belongs geographically to the mountains of Vítkovská Usovna. The creation of this site is connected by Czech and Slovak fans of artists with an effort to create a living monument to their respected personality.
The alley grew up in places where there used to be nameless park space with adjacent blind tracks from the train station. It was planted on 21 October 2017 by Lindsey Stirling's official fan club for the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who collaborated with the Planting trees. The then mayor of Hradec nad Moravicí Josef Vícha participated in the betting. The whole project was financed directly by fans of an American musician.
The alleyway includes ten trees, five of which are black pine trees, three of which are skin cress, one forest beech, and one silkworm. Each tree bears the name of the person associated with Lindsey Stirling or its creation. Trees are marked with individual signs containing information about the person they worship. The whole alley is then marked twice with a main sign with basic information about the park.
Among the trees, we find the names of members of the Stirling musical family: her father Stephen J. Stirling, a writer and educator whose mother Diane Stirling and her sister Jennifer Stirling. One forest beech resembles Jason Gaviati, a musician and a composer who was a member of Lindsey Stirling's band and her close friend. Other trees honor the creators who participated in her career: Devin Graham, cameraman and early video producer, Marko G, producer and author of music for the first album, and Peter Hollens, singer and musician with whom Lindsey Stirling worked. McKay Stevens, a member of The Vibrant Sound, with whom Stirling performed, also has a tree. In one tree, Lindsey Stirling is introduced to her Chihuahua Luna Latte, who is her pet. The last tree belongs to fictional Phelps, Lindsey Stirling's alter-ego, and the top fan number one.
Today they form an alley of quiet place connecting music, personal stories and belonging to the fan community. For a visitor, it offers an unusual experience - the opportunity to walk between trees and understand what personalities and relationships have shaped the creation of one of the world's most famous violinists. The park is within reach of the train station, so it is easily involved in walking in Hradec nad Moravicí.

Welcome, dear visitors! You're standing in front of a small but very interesting park that we're going to show you today. You are surrounded by a green oasis where history and modern enthusiasm meet. Look up - there awaits you a series of trees that have been planted here as a symbolic gift for the city. Their tribes are equipped with small records that resemble the prominent personalities associated with the American violinist Lindsey Stirling.
Let's move on to the past. In the vicinity of this place there was previously a nameless park area which was connected to the adjacent blind tracks near the train station. It was a place where people would meet and relax and breathe fresh air. However, it was only in 2017 that new significance began to come true. The official Lindsey Stirling fan club for the Czech Republic and Slovakia decided to plant ten trees here that symbolize its enthusiasm and support. This project was created in cooperation with the organization * We plant trees *, just 21 October 2017.
Look closer at the trees. Each of them has their own label to tell you about the personality he reminds you of here. Some names will be known to you, some may be new, but they're all connected to this musical legend. The trees were planted to create a harmonious circle that will enchant you with its beauty and symbolism. Notice how their crowns touch each other - that is their common goal, as well as the fanclub that is behind them.
Now pay attention to the surrounding area. The park lies between the streets of Opavská, Railway Station and Silesia. You can relax here, listen to music or just see beautiful trees. The interesting thing is that the whole project was financed directly by fans of an American musician. Without their support, these trees should not be here, so you can consider them a gift from people who feel connected to their parts.
And what happened earlier? Between 1900 and 1950 there was only a small park area, which served as a quiet place for the locals. Today, there is instead a symbolic planting that reminds us how people can combine their enthusiasm and support for those they like. Look at the facade of trees - each has its own unique beauty and meaning.
If you have time, explore the nearby station street. Here you can look at historical buildings that tell you more about the history of the city. The park is not only about greenery, but also about memories of the past and how people continue the tradition they preceded today.
Thank you for your attention and we wish you to enjoy the peace and beauty of this place. Don't forget to come back here if you have time, and check out the trees again. Perhaps someone will tell you that one of the fans came here and sent his regards. May you enjoy it, may you enjoy every breath of green and quiet.
