The Swede-Bure has been a haven for inhabitants of Upper Wesel for centuries. During the Thirty Years' War, the five-meter deep caves in the rocks were used mainly by women for protection against the Swedes. This is where the name "Schwedenlöcher" comes in. Later, couples of love use the caves as a meeting place and carve their love expressions in the Schieferfels.You can read more on an information board or perpetuate yourself on slate.

You can see nothing of the "Sweden holes" today, but the small spring still carries water.

At the time of the Thirty Years' War, especially women hid in rock holes with 5-6m depth before marauding Swedish soldiers. That's why these rock hiding places were also called "Schwedenlöcher".
A small spring (Born) donated the vital water to the Schwedenloch above Oberwesel.
Later, the place was used by lovers who wanted to be alone ...
On a slate today's couples can immortalize themselves ...
