    Former border between Nassau (today circle Siegen) and Kurköln (today circle Olpe). Landmark of 1690, information board, hiking portal, benches.

      A nice walking area. Since I don't take a photo of every bench or similar "highlights", I am attaching a photo collage of photos from the region.

        Former state border between Chur Cölln and the Principality of Nassau-Orange at the Kölschen Heck. At that time it consisted of a border fortification made of ditches, ramparts and the so-called "Gebück" - a wide, impenetrable hedge of thorns and bushes. The long-distance trade routes of the time ran through here and the corresponding tolls were collected at the trees. These border crossings were also secured with so-called "Schanzen" and additional soldiers. A drawing on the board demonstrates how the border events should be imagined.
