Bordesholm Lime Tree
Highlight • Natural Monument
It is located in the historic center of Bordesholm, near the monastery church of the former Bordesholm Monastery, and is freely accessible. Until the beginning of the 19th century, it served as the court linden tree for the Bordesholm district. The linden tree is estimated to be between 650 and 700 years old. It is approximately 18 meters tall, has a crown width of up to 30 meters, and its irregularly shaped trunk, with a diameter of up to 2.3 meters, is surrounded by a bench.
The linden tree has undergone tree care measures; some branches were shortened to reduce the load, and three branches are supported by supports. Nevertheless, some branches show clear signs of dying. This is an excerpt from the article Bordesholmer Linde in the free encyclopedia Wikipedia.

View of Bordesholmer See
Highlight • Viewpoint
The name "Bordesholm" is derived from the words "Bard" (Middle Low German for shore) and "Holm" (Middle Low German for island).
The lake was formed after the last ice age from a subglacial drainage valley 10,000 years ago. Since then it has undergone constant change and is of great importance for people settling there. While it served as a source of food and drinking water for a long time, it is now used primarily for recreational purposes. Hunters and gatherers left evidence of human activities around the lake as early as the Neolithic period. 4,000 years later, people settled there. The monastery church on the northern shore of the lake was originally on an island. But a drop in the lake level, the cause of which is still unknown, connected the island to the shore. The adjacent cliff meadows are evidence of this event; The former lake bed is visible through drilling, and the former lake terraces are also
