    From a height of 469 meters, you have a truly beautiful view. Sit down in the grass and enjoy this special place. A special event is said to have taken place here in the fourth century. The state of Baden-Württemberg tells the story as follows: "The St. Catherine's Linden tree is considered the setting for the legend of Saint Catherine, the founder of Esslingen's St. Catherine's Hospital. She is said to have come here in the fourth century to a pagan sacrificial site. Because she refused to pay homage to the deities and was executed, a trial by ordeal was demanded. A linden tree was planted upside down in the ground. If the plant died, it was supposed to be proof that the pagan deities were more powerful; if it survived, it was supposed to show that the Christian religion was superior. The roots began to grow green."
