    Tips

    August 15, 2022

    Only very occasionally in Germany do we still find old military road way columns, which were first mentioned in a document in 1578, as the last stone witnesses. The Waldecker Land can be proud of having saved another such pillar (see fig.) as a cultural monument from past centuries down to the present day. It stands - as a 4.56 m high four-sided obelisk on a profiled sandstone base block

    at the height of the Trappenberg near Twiste. The deeply carved inscriptions are still legible; only the hand cut out of sheet iron, which was once attached to the tip of the old signpost that is under monument protection, is missing.

    May this last silent witness be a herald of past times to future generations.

    (From 1100 years of Twiste/W.Emde)

    Dear visitors,

    please leave this historic place without vandalism and mountains of rubbish!!!
