ウッテンホッフェン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

It's incredible that the gable walls and columns from the 16th century are still standing today.

The Temple of Mercury is carved into a rock; you can only see the portal from the front; if you walk around the rock, you get the impression it's just a rock. Fascinating.

Impressive ruins right next to the road, plus a pretty reservoir surrounded by forest.

On this hiking highlight, we encounter the remains of a temple dedicated to MERCURY (Latin: MERCURIUS). Dating back to pre-Christian times, the deities of Roman and Greek mythology in particular have been preserved in the collective memory of people in Europe to this day. MERCURY is the "messenger of the gods" in Roman mythology; his counterpart in Greek mythology is Hermes. Both have the interesting combination of being gods of trade and merchants, but also of thieves.

Beautiful small reservoir with the ruins

On the site of the ruins of Wasenburg Castle, there are the remains of a much older building: a Roman sanctuary dedicated to Mercury. Parts of the temple were rebuilt in the 19th century.

The view is magnificent from the top of the tower which is accessible

even without the sun, always happy to see it appear!!
