The Schwedenschanze is a prehistoric defense system.

The name "Schwedenschanze" is reminiscent of the time of the Thirty Years' War and has remained popular to this day.

The Schwedenschanze at Stiege was reconstructed. At this Schanz facility you can experience exemplary the meaning and purpose of such fortifications up close. 😀

Due to the good maintenance condition and the information board, the hiker gets a great impression of such military protection facilities in their natural environment.

Not far from here is also a stamp office of the Harzer hiking nobility (Wüstung Selkenfelde).
