    According to a legend, the more than 200 year old fir trees are said to have protected Napoleon's army during a thunderstorm.
    Another derivation of the name assumes that the young silver firs were used to make lance shafts for the Napoleonic army.
    Declared a natural monument in 1970.

      Napoleon allegedly sought protection from thunderstorms here. I would say I was lucky 😛
