      The oldest yew tree in Germany stands at an altitude of around 1150 m northeast of the Balderschwanger town center. It is a female double yew tree that has found its perfect habitat in the middle of the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park. This yew tree is estimated to be between 2000 and 4000 years old.
