The tour leads once around the Katharinenlinde and starts at the Katharinenquelle. According to legend, St Catherine refused to pay homage to pagan deities here in the 4th century. A lime tree was planted upside down to show whether paganism or Christianity was true. According to legend, the roots began to sprout and the lime tree grew. However, the current one was planted in the 19th century as its predecessor was felled by a storm.
