    The box-leg beech in Syke is a natural monument, consisting of two red beech trees, in the Lower Saxon town of Syke (district of Diepholz).

      The tree is made up of two European beeches (Fagus sylvatica), which stand close together and unite in the upper area to form a common trunk. It is not clear whether artificial interventions led to the development of this particular tree shape. According to legend, it should have the strength to fulfill people's wishes - for this you have to walk between the two legs. It owes its name to the former Syker forester Heinrich Kastenbein. He made sure that the tree was released. The later generations of foresters also made sure that the special beech tree had enough space to grow.
