Holzwallburg Ruins in NSG Ostholzbachtal

There are a few fine trails here, which change depending on the "tree displacements". Check out my New Trees - New Trails route ... Partly a few tricky spots, especially when it's wet.

The shape of the plant located on a mountain spur projecting to the west becomes clear only in the digital terrain model because of the only weakly preserved ramparts. Possibly, the core of the plant was in two parts, but a fortification on the western part of the spur tip is barely recognizable and overprinted by guides and channels. The eastern part of the complex is characterized as a roughly pentagonal rampart of max. 75 x 80 m size. In the southeast a short annex wall can be seen, which runs from the edge of the slope about 30 m to the north and then turns west to the ring wall. At a distance of 20 m to the northeast corner of the ringwalls, a 140 m section wall runs the entire width of the spur. Slightly recognizable traces could indicate an additional attachment of the southern spur edge.
