The linden tree is considered a symbol of steadfastness, patriotism, and spiritual strength – and is an integral part of the local pilgrimage tradition. It plays a silent but significant role, especially in Marian festivals and processions.

Lime tree with a massive, arched trunk and pronounced root flares. The tree is said to have originated from three closely planted lime trees that grew together over time. At sacred sites, such as near pilgrimage churches, three trees were often planted close together as a symbol of the Christian Trinity. The trunk opening was stabilized with iron bars. Its current age is estimated to be approx. 500 years.
