On the path leading up to Heldburg Fortress in Thuringia, you'll eventually come across a linden tree split in two. A sign is attached to the hollow of this tree, and I'd like to tell you about it now:

"Castle Linden of Heldburg Fortress – Large-leaved Summer Linden.

Wanderer, pause! Read my story here:

In 1791, I was planted by the then Ducal Court Secretary, Johann Daniel Bechmann (1768-1826), from Heldburg. That's why I was also called the Bechmann Linden. Around 1960, lightning destroyed my beautiful crown and split the trunk. Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914) and his wife, Baroness von Heldburg (1839-1923), often lingered in the shade of its spreading branches when they resided here at the fortress during the summer months."

Here, directly at the Veste Heldburg, there is another beautiful, very old linden tree, the Schlosslinde. Great that such old trees are preserved for as long as possible.
