    Hiking

    Under the rings was a hooked cross

    “The Olympic rings and the year 1936 are reminiscent of the Olympic Games held in Berlin under National Socialist rule. Underneath was a swastika, which was removed after 1945.”
    Source (quoted verbatim): information board on site
    The information board also points to 2 relics from the Nazi era in the immediate vicinity (below the hiking trail) that are barely visible: a trench (to secure a tank barrier against American troops in March 1945) and a barracks camp for foreign forced laborers from the time of 1943 to 1945.
