On the way to Veste Heldburg in Thuringia, at some point along the way there is a linden tree split in half. In the "hollow" of this linden tree there is a sign with the following sentences:

"Castle linden tree of Veste Heldburg - large-leaved summer linden.

Hiker, linger! Read my story briefly here:
In 1791, the then ducal court secretary Joh. Daniel Bechmann (1768-1826) from Heldburg planted me. That's why I was also called the Bechmann linden tree. Around 1960, lightning destroyed my beautiful crown and split the trunk. Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914) and his wife, Baroness von Heldburg (1839-1923) often lingered in the shade of the sprawling branches when they resided here in the fortress in the summer months. You can find out more information in the exhibition room of Veste Heldburg.
The Veste Heldburg e.V. support association is committed to preserving the linden tree for future generations. Donations are always accepted for urgently needed conservation measures.

Imposing linden tree on the Burgberg, which was not affected by a lightning strike and simply continued to grow in two parts.
