    Nice shady place for the Kirwa and other events. There is also a hikers' car park here outside of the festive season, the wooden floor under the dancing linden tree has been dismantled. The dancing linden tree, which is worth seeing, has a circumference of over six meters and is said to be around 500 years old.

      The Skiclub Spies always organizes the Sommernachtsfest unter der Linde on the first Saturday in July. For the sustenance is provided. There are suckling pigs, grilled chicken, steaks, giros, home-made salads and home-baked cakes. Cool beer on tap from the brewery Drykorn .....

        The dancing linden tree is in the forest on the south-eastern outskirts of Spies. The tree veteran is about 500 years old, has a circumference of a good 6 meters and the "Linden-Kerwa" takes place here every year on the first weekend in July.

          Very nice, shady place !!! Outside Kirchweih / other event at the same time Wanderparkplatz. Worth seeing lime tree and very rustic bar next door, which is only during the "Kerwa" in operation ;-)

              The Spieser Tanzlinde is an impressive 500 years old.
              People dance around the imposing tree, an old tradition that has almost died out.
              Can you say bourgeois 🤣🤫

                      Currently a construction site. The wooden floor has been removed.

                          I think it's a nice tradition.
                          I'm happy to be a square.
