    The information on the sign suggests that the population took this path to safety during the Thirty Years' War.

      There is not much information about the "Secret Path", but it is probably an escape route that the local population used during the Thirty Years' War.

        An escape route for the local population from the marauding troops of the various armies during the Thirty Years' War. Coming from Wildsachsen, the Heimliche path turns left and climbs steeply towards Eppstein. At first it is still surrounded by dense vegetation, but it loosens after about 100-200 meters.
