Fraueninsel, Chiemsee (Bavaria, Germany)
Frauen Insel (Ladies´Island) is the 2nd largest island after Herren Insel in Chiemsee. There is a ferry boat that brings the toursits every half hour from the mainland. The island has a Monastery that organizes its various events. In Summer, the ferry boat is packed with day tourists who want to see the beauty of the island and the oldest linden tree at the Lindenplatz.
Linden Tree - The 1200 Year-Old Tree
There are about seven linden trees in the island and the two most famous ones are located in Lindenplatz. The very huge one is about 1200 years-old which has always been connected to Earl Tassilo III who founded the Monastery for the nuns around the year 760. The tree is being protected by a huge fence surrounding it, a small chapel is also inside its perimeters.
Do Not Cross The Fence !
The Pier
This one tree below that I embraced is not as old as the one in the Lindenplatz. Perhaps just around 500 years old. They are available for tourists to touch and hold the amazing surface of the body that it is really very old...look at those structures!
Remarkable images of beautiful scenery and intriguing information @mers If I ever got close enough to one of those ancient Linden trees I'd give them a big hug too as I love any specimen that makes me makes me look young. 😁
Hahaha....We are soulmates then, I have the same mindset as you... But, it is really amazing to experience such proof of nature and life that existed before us for so many centuries and to think they are still alive like this linden tree. Many thanks for a wonderful comments.
Haha......that's good to know @mers 😊 The wonders of nature continue to enthrall me and these old, magnificent Linden trees deserve our respect and attention.
Good evening. Amazingly informative and high-quality publication. The beauty of green nature is simply amazing. When I watch these publications, I travel in my mind in a place with the author. I think every Steemit user experiences this. Such is the psychology of man. I really liked the trees, they saw a lot. Have survived many generations. Thank you very much. Good luck to you
