Babisnauer Pappel

Very old poplar that is a popular destination. In front of the poplar there is a small observation tower from which one has a wonderful view over Dresden.

The Babisnauer landowner Johann Gottlieb Becke planted the poplar in 1808 as a border tree on the border of his property. It has been a natural monument since 1936. The poplar lost most of its round crown in strong storms in 1967 and 1996. It is 17.3 meters high, the trunk has a circumference of 5.1 meters.
According to legend, the poplar with its flower, which does not appear every year, indicates the approaching end of a war.

Great view over Dresden, with observation deck.

Between sunny hiking trails lies the Dresdner Elbe Valley at your feet

Nice view ... easy walk

Nice place to picnic

One of the most spectacular views over Dresden.
When the weather is nice you can look from Radebeul over the entire DD over to Heidenau / Pirna to the Saxon Switzerland ...

Easy walk to a beautiful view.

Nice place to picnic

Very nice view of Dresden

A wonderfully detached, old poplar with a lookout tower, from which you can e.g. Dresden and can look into Saxon Switzerland (binoculars recommended)

Worthwhile place for a short rest and a nice all-round view

View to the Schneeberg

View to the great Schneeberg

A great view all around from this landmark (the Babisnau poplar can be seen well from many places in the city ...). When the weather is clear, the view extends to Bohemian Switzerland, the Ore Mountains and of course all of Dresden.
