From Eichelsdorf, a winding road leads up to the parking lot right in front of the mountaintop. The short climb from there cuts through an old prehistoric ring wall, which encloses a square 260 m long and up to 120 m wide. In the access area, defensive walls staggered in height can be clearly seen. The main wall - originally up to two m high on the inside and up to five m high on the outside - is partially accompanied by a ditch. Access to the Schwedenschanze was via two secured gates.
