Hitzeröder Dorflinde, Natural monument lime tree in Hitzerode, Germany.
The Hitzeröder Dorflinde is a notable lime tree standing at the heart of Hitzerode village in Berkatal municipality. Its large crown and sturdy trunk dominate the village center, surrounded by wooden benches for visitors to sit.
The village has used this tree as a central meeting place for assemblies, justice proceedings, and festivities over many centuries. Its roots in local history run as deep as the tree itself.
The tree serves as a village gathering spot where residents come together for conversations and celebrations. Social moments and everyday meetings naturally happen here throughout the year.
The wooden benches surrounding the tree provide a comfortable spot to rest while exploring the surrounding area. The tree stands in the village center with easy access at any time of day.
The ground beneath the tree has accumulated over time, raising it roughly 1.5 meters (5 feet) above its original level. This natural elevation tells the story of the site's long use as a gathering place.
