Tips
The end of the 9th century, when the Carolingians ruled what was then East Francia, was marked by troubled times. When threatened by armies, the inhabitants fled from a settlement in the valley to a nearby mountain fortification. Such a refuge was discovered on the Burghalder Felsen. An eight meter wide ditch separated the northern rock surface from the easily accessible massif. The stone material from the ditch was used for a wall about two meters wide behind the ditch.
A knight's stone commemorates this. Highly recommended.translated by
