An exceptional example is "Saalfelder Ostereierbaum", an apple tree in the garden of Volker Kraft in Saalfeld! Kraft and his family have been decorating the tree since 1965. As the tree grew, they needed more eggs for decorating. The Krafts blew out all the eggs used in their household during the year and reused the eggs each year. In 2012 there were over 10000 eggs on the Easter egg tree. Beginning 2003 newspapers from Holland, Kuwait, Austria, Spain, Australia, Thailand, USA and South Africa reporting on the Kraft Easter egg tree. Many visitors have continuously come since then. The entrance is free. Depending on the weather and the date of Easter, the family begins hanging eggs on the tree , four weeks befor Easter. They use ladders to reach the heights of the tree, and hang the eggs working from inside near the trunk to outside of the tree branches, and from top to bottom. They remove the eggs befor the leaves grow to prevent damage to the tree.
Jedes Jahr zu Ostern gibt es hier eine weit über Saalfeld hinaus bekannte Attraktion zu bestaunen. Am Apfelbaum der Familie Kraft hängen 10000 handbemalte Ostereier!
