Four of such observation bunkers are said to have existed during the Second World War near Bad Orb. After the war they were blown up, these are the gruesome remnants of a time that is fortunately over. Worth seeing is the "ruin" always and makes you think. Today golf is played here ...

Where the place Villbach is today was z. During the 2nd World War a training area for dropping bombs. There was also a vantage point on the Beilstein to see the hits. The planes took off in Gründau Rothenbergen.
