Impressive in the middle of the forest to discover such a structure. Especially if you know the story and the hundreds of dead

The memorial made of stacked stones commemorates a bloody battle in the Bavarian War of Succession. On August 8, 1504, a thousand people lost their lives. The battlefield was littered with corpses. During the surprise attack, the drummers are said to have no longer had time to take their drums from the beech tree where she had hung them to sound the alarm. The tree on which the drums hung was known for a long time - the drum beech had gone down in history. A legend tells that since then hikers have repeatedly heard the thud of the drums and the noise of the battle when they approach this point. In 1999, Forst Ebnath AG had the memorial erected in the "Schlacht" area. Blocks of Kösseine granite from the Grasyma quarry were transported to the historical site and craned to form a large gate, granite blocks lined up in an open ring.
