I 90'-erne boede her en skarvkoloni. Hvor den blev af vides ikke, men træet blev "dræbt" af deres afføring.
Man må sige at fuglene havde fundet sig et sted med god udsigt.
Ud over søen mod alle de omliggende skove:
- mod Nord: Sorø Akademi
Sorø Akademi er gennem tiden benyttet som navn på forskellige institutioner med tilknytning til Sorø Klosters tidligere bygninger. Klosteret blev overtaget af kronen i 1580, og den 10. august 1580 blev Peder Reedtz forlenet med Antvorskov og Sorø klostre. Fire år senere lod Frederik II sine sønner modtage undervisning i bygningerne, og i 1586 oprettede kongen en opdragelsesanstalt og skole for 30 adelige og 30 ikke-adelige disciple.
I 1623 oprettede Christian IV et ridderakademi på stedet, som bestod til 1665. I 1747 blev akademiet genoprettet af Frederik V og atter nedlagt 1798. I 1826 blev det atter genoprettet af Frederik VI og bestod som kongelig institution til 1849, hvor det overgik til privat eje) Kilde: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sor%C3%B8_Akademi
- mod Vest: Parnas
Ordet Parnas er en del af Sorøs historie, og en del af især ældre soraneres bevidsthed. Historien om Parnas sluttede brat, da et lyn i 1970 antændte restauranten, som brændte og ikke blev genopbygget.
Restaurationen blev bygget sidst i 1800-tallet og somrene igennem sejlede 1 og i mange år 2 rutebåde, så folk let kunne komme over søen. Parnasrestauranten udvidedes i flere omgange, sidst i 1953, og kunne så dække op med 1200 kuverter - og med et orkester på 4 mand. Stedet blev kendt for sine store solister, således f.eks. Aksel Schiøtz, Ib Schønberg og Wandy Tworek.) Kilde: https://www.soroehistorie.dk/arkiv/Soro_Leksikon/parnas.html
I dag er der igen aktivitet på Parnas. Se mere her: http://www.parnas.dk
- mod Nordøst: Borgmesterens Øjne/Øje.
"Borgmesterens Øje” er et lokalt begreb.
Da banevejen blev anlagt over Sorø Sø i 1854 blev den ført over til den vestligste af de to gåseøer, hvorved dæmningen fik et knæk.
Trods lindetræer langs dæmningen kunne der være meget mørkt om aftenen, og en sådan aften gik borgmesteren, Nicolai Esmarch Muus (eller måske hans forgænger F.H. Jørgensen) i mørket lige ud og i mudder og vand, hvorefter han ønskede opsat to lamper i svinget, en der lyste hver vej.
Deraf navnet ”Borgmesterens øjne”. De blev først sat op efter megen polemik. Det var jo en dyr sag at sætte tranlygter op i 1883. De skulle passes af byens vægtere. Jørgensen var borgmester 1864-1882 og Muus var borgmester 1882-1891.)

In the 90's a cormorant colony lived here. Where the birds are now is not known, but the tree was "killed" by their feces...
It must be said that the birds had found a place with good views.

- looking North: Sorø Akademi
Sorø Akademi was used over time as the name of various institutions connected to the former buildings of Sorø Monastery. The monastery was taken over by the Crown in 1580, and on August 10,1580 Peder Reedtz was conferred with Antvorskov and Sorø monasteries. Four years later Frederik II his sons receive tuition in the buildings, and in 1586 the king established a school of instruction and school for 30 nobles and 30 non-noble disciples.
In 1623, Christian IV established a Knight's academy on the site, which existed until 1665. In 1747, the academy was restored by Frederik V and closed down again in 1798. In 1826, it was again restored by Frederik VI and passed as a royal institution until 1849, when it went into private source) Source: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sor%C3%B8_Akademi
- looking West: Parnas
The word Parnas is part of Sorø's history, and part of the consciousness of older Sorans in particular. The story of Parnas ended abruptly when a lightning in 1970 ignited the restaurant, which burned and was not rebuilt.
The restoration was built in the late 1800s and during the summers sailed 1 and for many years 2 liner boats so people could easily get across the lake. The Parnasrestaurant was expanded several times, latest in 1953, and was then able to cover 1200 envelopes - and with a 4-man orchestra. The place became known for its great soloists, such as danish singers Aksel Schiøtz, Ib Schønberg and Wandy Tworek) Source: https://www.soroehistorie.dk/arkiv/Soro_Leksikon/parnas.html

- looking Northeast The Mayor's Eyes / Eye.
"The Mayor's Eye" is a local term.
When the track was built over Sorø Lake in 1854, it was transferred to the westernmost of the two goose islands, thereby breaking the dam.
Despite lime trees along the dam, it could be very dark in the evening, and on such an evening the mayor, Nicolai Esmarch Muus (or perhaps his predecessor FH Jørgensen) went straight out into the dark and into mud and water, after which he wanted to put two lamps in the swing, one that shone every way.
Hence the name "The Mayor's Eyes". They were first set up after much controversy. After all, it was a costly thing to set up the headlights in 1883. They had to be looked after by the city watchmen. Jorgensen was mayor 1864-1882 and Muus was mayor 1882-1891.)
