Black poplars impress as old trees with their strong, gnarled growth.

Very distinctive tree on the Danube. The tree offers many insects a habitat and is also a way marker. The poplar has an imposing trunk - around 2 meters in diameter. It comes close to the path.

Further upstream is an old silver poplar.
