    Hiking

    🌿 In the middle of the forest, traces of an old border fortification are still visible today: a rampart, ditch, and once dense thorn hedges formed the so-called "Landwehr" (Landwehr) in the 16th century.

    It served not only as protection, but also to control trade routes – including a customs post, the so-called "Zoll-Eiche" (Customs Oak).

    The adjacent road was part of an important east-west connection from Zweibrücken to Kusel.

    💡 Tip:
    If you walk through the forest with your eyes open, you can still see the historic ditches in the terrain.
