Facts and practical information

The Gerd-Walter-Linde is a linden tree that stands near the Ulm district of Söflingen as a solitary on the Hochsträß. The tree is visible for miles over Ulm.

On these, a kneeling woman is depicted planting an tree, symbolizing the reconstruction of Germany after World War II.
