Here, in earlier times, the villains, or the one held up for it, were hung up. Nevertheless, it seems so peaceful that it is remarkable. Left and right, there are plenty of ways and trails to let off steam.

Memorial to the Windeck High Court

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Galgenberg (356.1 m above sea level) in Nutscheid was used as the Windecker high court until the 19th century. Its placement directly on what was then a very busy highway was intended to deter foreign and shady people. The gallows square “Windecks Court” is still a destination for hikers and those interested in history. Only around 250 m east of it are three oak trees that are several hundred years old.

Short stopover. The oak is a little hidden in the forest. Up the stairs! :-)
