At the Hohe Hölle (High Hell), there is a historically valuable archaeological monument from the Thirty Years' War – the Swedish Wall. Located on the northern slope of the mountain, not far from the Swedish Wall parking lot, it was constructed as a so-called triangular redoubt. It was most likely built by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War. Soldiers could hide behind the so-called Swedish Wall and possibly even position artillery.
