Alte Linde Eschelbronn

Alte Linde Eschelbronn is a winter linden tree growing beside the Schwarzbach river along a historic path junction in northern Baden-Württemberg, displaying broad branches and thick foliage. The tree is marked with a protection designation and an old stone signpost still shows distances to nearby municipalities.

A family ancestor of farmer Emil Hauck planted this tree before 1850 at a point where historic paths to neighboring towns intersected. Its age and location serve as lasting evidence of those earlier travel routes that connected the area.

This tree marks a historic crossroads where paths to neighboring communities once converged and where local residents still gather today. A stone area and bench create a natural meeting place that serves people of all ages in the surrounding area.

The tree sits along the Bettweg path and can be located using the protection area number 82260200001. An old stone signpost with distance markings helps with orientation at the site.

A rainwater basin built in the 1980s damaged the tree's root system and changed its health conditions in ways still visible today. Despite this challenge, the old tree continues to stand at its original location.
