    A Siberian larch was planted here in 1896 by the owner of the forest and namesake of the mountain, farmer Lenk and a chief forester Hänel. It is noted on the stone that this happened in the fallow moon, an old name for the month of June (also fallow month). The name goes back to the three-field economy in the Middle Ages. In this month the fields that had been idle for a year for regenerative reasons and the fallow land were worked again. The stone was erected for the 100th birthday of the larch. There are now several larches there. The oldest is 125 years.
