Holzklauer Schlag

Historic border crossing!
The Hohlweg led directly from the former Customs House Niederholzklau as a high trail to Oberholzklau and then to the "Holzklauer Schlag", a border crossing point in the Nassau country hedge. The 105 km long land hedge, also known as Landwehr or Landfestung, enclosed around the middle of the 15th century to the mid-17th century, the Siegerland completely for protection against enemy raids.

Easy to reach on tours to spoon mountain, Bühl or Friesenhagen

Nice story to a historical place ...

A nice corner with turnpike and information board. The shelter is great for a foto😁

Former border between the county of Nassau-Dillenburg and the kurkölln duchy of Westphalia.

Former customs border "Holzklauer Schlag" with an adjacent singletrack over an old ravine

You feel transported to another time. Very interesting!

A bit of history for in between

A piece of history along the way

Some story on the way. Stop resting and look at the information boards.

If you are ever here, you should have seen that.

Nicely renovated ... a place with history !!

Something historic not far from the main street. You must have seen that! Beautiful trails in the area!

To the left and right of the Holzklauer Schlag beautiful girls (as the Siegerländer says) go down.
