    A memorial to history is the anti-tank barrier from the Second World War on the Grölisbach. From 1939, tank barriers were built along a total of 630 kilometers along the West Wall. Because of their shape, they are also known as dragon teeth or cusp line. What used to be a military line of defense has now become a valuable biotope for fauna and flora.

      Beautiful hiking area around the Dreilägerbachtalsperre and in the Struffelt. Especially after rain it bubbles up from all corners
