Hiking
Large artificially raised hill with a diameter of around 30 m and a height of 4-5 m, with a cross and a very old oak tree on the top. The hill was first mentioned in history in 1521 as "Berg Kalvarien" in connection with the Borken leper house. As a Calvary, however, it is certainly much older. The current cross, which has been restored several times, was erected by the Knights of St. John in 1665. The Beckenberg, which served as a protective structure during World War II by installing a tunnel, was restored to its current state after 1955.
