Priorlinde, Natural monument in Priorei, Germany
The Priorlinde stands as a massive lime tree with horizontal branches extending at two meters height before rising vertically in a candelabra formation.
Dating back over 1000 years, this ancient lime tree received natural monument protection status in 1947 and served as a traditional gathering place.
According to regional traditions, the tree location functioned as an assembly point for legal proceedings and community celebrations in medieval times.
Located near the Tiefentalbach stream, which maintains soil moisture, the tree can be reached via federal road 54 or bus route 510.
A stone with carved runes sits in front of the tree, while the adjacent Kluse settlement was reportedly built on sacred ground.
