The lime tree with a Mariaka apple on the tree.
Lovers from all over the world found and still find each other under this tree. You can hang a love lock on the work of art.
Attaching a Marian chapel to a tree is an old custom that dates back to when people still honored the Germanic goddess Freya.
Freya was the goddess of love, justice, domestic happiness and fertility.translated by•April 10, 2022
