    The potato tree at the distinctive fork in the forest above Stolberg-Zweifall used to be an oak. In the last world war she fell victim to the advancing Americans. After 1945 a chestnut was planted here, potato tree "number two", so to speak. Because the name stuck to the tree that everyone knows who travels in the forest between Mausbach, Zweifall and Vossenack.

        Here beautifully decorated potatoes grow / hang on / in the tree and this is how the tree has had its name for over 100 years.
