Old linden tree at the fork in the road to Zeiling. The linden tree at the fork in the road to Zeiling, which is over 200 years old, is not only an important habitat for birds and insects. The deciduous tree with a trunk diameter of around 1.2 meters and a crown diameter of 21 meters stores around 10 tonnes of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the trunk, branches and roots and thus makes an important contribution to climate protection.

Perfect for the break in between! There are enough seats and there is free shade when you are out and about on hot summer days ;-)

The tower hill Diemannskirchen is a medieval tower hill castle (Motte) about 700 meters southwest of the Catholic church St. Margaretha von Diemannskirchen and districts of the municipality Geisenhausen in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut in Bavaria. No historical or archaeological information is known about this castle, it is roughly dated to be medieval. From the complex on the edge of a steep slope to the Little Vils Valley, only a castle hill and a trench have survived. The castle site is protected as a ground monument "Medieval Tower Hill".

From there you have a beautiful view, the board speaks for itself. Only then it goes uphill a bit, which nourishes doubts about the correctness (or you come from above, but that doesn't make it better ...)
