Probably a refuge like the Rosstrappe, here the population withdrew during the war.
The path and the view into the Selketal are a dream.

A refuge castle, similar to the one on the Rosstrappe, you can still see a little of the wall, an information board offers interesting information. Is on the way to the Selkesicht at the Ackeburg.

The Ackeburg was first mentioned in 1216 near the village of Akkeburg, of which nothing is left, since 1400 as abandoned or destroyed.
The castle complex, which consisted of a main and outer bailey with a moat and several ramparts, had a main castle about 30 m in diameter standing on a rocky hill. Above it, in the direction of the highest point on the hill, there was an approximately 11 m wide outer bailey. Nowadays, parts of the neck ditch and cross wall can still be seen at the Burgstall.
