Next to the tree there is a plaque that tells story of the ‘poppebeam’. ‘Poppe’ is the Frisian word for baby and ‘beam’ is the Frisian word for tree. According to the local legend, babies were born from the hole in the tree, which was said to have gifted the family that lived in the cottage with seven children.
