War memorial on the lookout: Round stone hall with five round arches. Inside there are four large commemorative plaques and a picture - mother with child and angel.

Hiking

The Schottener Warte, from where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the valley, has a memorial to the two world wars integrated into the lower area. Here, all the fallen men from Schotten are listed on four large wall panels. The shocking thing is that the fallen men are mostly young and only aged between 17 and 25.
