Hiking

An ancient gigantic linden tree and an absolute rarity in this country. The trunk is enormously thick and so knotted and overgrown that it almost has something surreal about it. A work of art of nature and one of the most impressive highlights of the Felsenmeer tour.

A tree that could tell a lot if it only could… 🤩 P. S: attached is a sheep trough from earlier days

Hiking

A vast, ancient, gnarled linden tree. You seldom see a tree like this. The old sheep's tears behind it in the hollow has been there for several hundred years.
