Right next to the Church of St. Willibald in Unterölsbach is a beautiful village lime tree that is more than 300 years old. It has a trunk circumference of about 6 meters and a height of about 20 meters. Inside the tree, which stands on private property but is open to the public without restrictions, is hollow, the openings are closed with bars. According to a "local" the tree is healthy. The lime tree is well worth seeing because of its beautiful growth, which comes about through regular care.
