    Hiking

    The Eppingen Lines were a defensive line fortified at the end of the 17th century that stretched from Weißenstein near Pforzheim via Mühlacker, Sternenfels and Eppingen to Neckargemünd. It had a total length of 86 km. (Source: Wikipedia)

    Hiking

    Sections that were less threatened were secured by "hacking", i.e. the forests were cut down in wide swathes and the tree trunks were stacked on top of each other. However, it proved necessary to provide large sections of the 86 km long defensive lines with redoubts, which were preceded by a hack. It is very impressive to see the distance over which the Eppingen Lines were secured.
