Hiking
During the liberation wars of 1813, Cossacks camped at the height above Gierstädt (390 m) and punched iron rings in the tree to tie their horses.
These can no longer be seen, but the mighty overgrowths in the lower trunk area still give a clear idea of them.
Fröhlich describes the location "southeast of Gierstädt ..." in fact, it is about 900m to the west.

The places where the iron rings of the Cossacks were apparently under the bark are impressive.
