    Napoleon had a hill built here on his retreat from Russia in 1813. The reason was also that from here he could better control the goat back road. That also means that you have a wonderful view from the "Schanzberg".

      The Napoleonschanze is a wonderful place above Hohnstein with a clear view. You can read about the historical significance on the information board. Benches and a campfire area invite you to linger.
