An interesting relic from the days of the Thirty Years' War: the old vantage point, which was to warn the residents of the litter valley of incoming troops of troops from the west by lit beacons as a signal and watchtower ... formerly standing on the bare ridge above the old trade route she is now completely surrounded by forest!

Unfortunately no view from the tower. Everything overgrown. Time for a tree cut ;-)
