    Here is an old, hollow tree. It looks as if the lightning has struck at some point or as if someone has tried to light it and yet it is bristling with bright green foliage.

      Again on the hollow tree and researched its history a little more intensely and found the following in the NordhausenWiki: In the Napoleon period the poplars are said to have been planted. The legend tells that Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte planted these trees to see where he was drawn and to use them as a guide when retreating. Similar to this legend, many of these trees are said to have the same origin. It is proven that Napoleon was not in Nordhausen. Only a few of the original ten poplars remain. A poplar has burned out due to arson. To make amends, a silver poplar (Populus alba) was planted in the middle of the hollow trunk.
