    This is the way to the Daubhaus coming from the Rachelshausen quarry.

      Narrow path over the summit. Now in February the path was quite easy to see.

      Daubhaus ring wall system
      The Daubhaus ring wall system is a prehistoric ring wall system, which has meanwhile been sharply eroded,[1] presumably from the late Hallstatt to early La Tène period on the Daubhaus in the Rachelshausen district of Gladenbach.

      Description

      The 551.8 m high hilltop is surrounded by a 750 m long rampart, which can still be clearly seen on the southern, western and northern flanks, which can be interpreted as a double rampart on the western side. In the south-east it is heavily eroded, tapering further to the east; here the plant was naturally protected by the steeper mountain flank. The pincer-like entrance is to the north. The complex has a wall extension of 270 m in southwest-northeast direction and about 100 m in southeast-northwest direction. The ramparts cover an area of around 2.4 hectares.

      At least three terraced areas with long fields are visible on the flatter end of the west side. On the south-western side of the hilltop there are numerous podiums that indicate a formerly permanent settlement. With the podiums in the west and south-west, the settlement area is around 7.5 ha.

      The Ringwallanlage on the Hünstein, about 850 m to the north, is assigned to the same time horizon.
