These are "the same Swedes" as in Erfurt ;-). It is a graceful place on this meadow plateau, you can let your gaze wander into the distance all around and you will always discover something new.

'Schwedenschanze' can be traced back to the battle during the Thirty Years' War near Saalfeld in 1640. The Swedish Field Marshal Johan Baner entrenched himself on the Red Mountain with 38,000 men.

Just before the gates of Saalfeld you reach a summit named Schwedenschanze. If you would like to know why this place bears this name, you should make a pilgrimage there and read the information board. You would be surprised.
