    Hiking

    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.

    Hiking

    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.

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