    Hiking

    On the summit of the Wüstegarten (Desert Garden), the remains of a ring wall are visible. The stone wall is connected to the conflicts between the Conradines and the Liudolfingian Saxon dukes, initially as late Carolingian counts, then as holders of the royal office under Conrad I. It most likely dates from the 9th century AD.[5] A plaque affixed to the Wüstegarten, however, dates it to the Iron Age and indicates its use as a fortified defensive site and cult site.
