Hiking

At this point, in the middle of the forest, the hiker not only comes across a small rest area, but also a powerful leap back in human history, long before the beginning of the current Christian era: an Iron Stone Age ring wall once stood up here, far from the banks of the Sieg.

Hiking

Next to the pleasant rest area with a table and benches, there's a small information board about the ring wall. The short walk around the ring wall is worthwhile, leading along varied, narrow paths through light-colored birch groves and dense beech stands.

Information board with an explanation of the ring rampart, of which actually nothing is recognizable anymore, and a seating area with a bench.
