    The information boards provide a lot of information about the medieval militia. It is astonishing that this “defensive structure” was built far outside the city.

      In the middle of the forest south of Hachenburg, you'll find a medieval scene. At the remaining remains of the rampart and ditch system, iron guards control access to the town.

        The Landwehr is the site of the former border between the town of Hachenburg and the County of Sayn. Two artificially raised earthworks were planted with scrub, making it almost impossible for outsiders to penetrate.
