Tips

The giant linden tree from Heede, also known as the “millennial linden tree” or “thick linden tree”. With a trunk circumference of 18.07 m, a crown of almost 30 x 30 m and a height of around 24 m, it is a real colossus of trees.

Due to its unusual shape for a linden tree with several strong trunk branches, the suspicion suggests that several trees have grown together. This has now been refuted by genetic studies. Some experts suspect that the linden tree suffered severe damage centuries ago and then drove the new branches and today's main trunks out of the stump.
