Historically very interesting, used as a sacrificial site since the 7th century.

Several dozen gold coins and jewelry from the early Middle Ages were found in the Springendal in Hezingen. The Saxons sacrificed valuables here to Wodan, Donar and Saxnot. The discovery of the sacrificial site is unique and sheds new light on the history of the region.
