The Dancing Lime Tree in Sachsenbrunn is a natural monument and stands by the Werra Bridge in the center of Sachsendorf, a district of Sachsenbrunn in the town of Eisfeld in the Hildburghausen district, on the southern edge of the Thuringian Forest. The large-leaved lime tree (Tilia platyphyllos) has served as a festival and dance venue for centuries. Its distinctive growth habit stems from the fact that its branches were trained to create a dance floor inside the tree, which is used for festivities during the summer months.

Originally grown for dancing, there aren't many of them left. There's one in Eishausen, and the tree isn't dead at all.

One of two "operational" dancing linden trees in Thuringia, where people dance on a platform in the treetop. The other is in Effelder. There are more in Franconia around Bayreuth and there in Neudrossenfeld and Limmersdorf there are even two dancing lime tree museums.
