A trench, still clearly visible as part of the Epping Line, runs across the forest. Since the trench was filled in at this point to make way for a forest path, one also has a good view of the cross-section of the defensive system.

Beautiful remains of the fortifications - and certainly a great experience for children to romp around in the moats and on the ramparts

The Eppingen Line with the Sternenschanze defense system ran over the Sauberg. Along the upper edge of the mountain you can still see a lot of the defense trenches and walk along them.
