A great tree, huge, very impressive 👍🏻

UNSTRUT Source near Kefferhausen in Eichsfeld (400m); Length 192 km; Estuary Großjena near Naumburg into the Saale The Unstrut rises west of Kefferhausen near Dingelstädt in northern Thuringia in southern Eichsfeld. In the Sachsenburg or Thuringian Gate it breaks through the Hainleite. In its lower reaches it flows in numerous loops through the Burgenland district in southern Saxony-Anhalt; below Memleben it is initially flanked by the Ziegelroda Plateau, near Laucha by the Dorndorf Plateau, near Freyburg by the limestone-rich Silent Mountains and flows into the Großjenaer Blumengrund near Naumburg Saale. SAALE Source near Zell in the Fichtelgebirge (728m); Length 413 km; Estuary near Barby into the Elbe The Saale rises in the Fichtelgebirge in Upper Franconia between Zell and Weißenstadt. The upper reaches of the Saale between Zell and Hof are quite leisurely. The river then runs straight through the Thuringian Slate Mountains. The Saale is dammed several times here. The area of the middle Saale begins with the river exiting the Thuringian Slate Mountains and entering the Triassic plate and hill country. After leaving the Saale-Unstrut-Triasland Nature Park near Naumburg, the lower reaches of the river begin. This runs in a flat landscape to the mouth of the Elbe near Barby.

“This tree's leaf, the one from the east Entrusted to my garden, Gives secret meaning to taste, How it edifies those who know. Is it a living being? That separated itself into itself, Are they two who choose each other, That they are known as one. To answer such a question I found the right sense; Don't you feel my songs? That I am one and double?” (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “Ginkgo biloba”)

This male ginkgo in the Goseck castle courtyard was planted in 1859 (according to the purchase receipt) by the family of the Counts of Zech-Burkersroda, who acquired the property that year and lived in it until 1945. The age of the tree at the time of planting is unknown. However, the plant was ordered from a nursery in Erfurt, so it would have been around 15 years old when it was placed on Goseck, so it is around 180 years old today. According to the most recent examination in July 2022, the tree is vital and continues to develop. To secure the treetop in the event of wind or snow loads, tension cables have been carefully tied into place since 2015 and are barely visible.
