アプトシュタイナハの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Pagan sacrificial site last probably used as such by the clan of Dietbert, a follower of the Frankish king Clovis.

The remarkable thing here is the panoramic view! Just lovely. You have to look at it yourself. The photos here are just a tired copy of the wonderful reality!

Was open today and a stunning view. But even if I'm not afraid of heights... that's really high and wobbles quite a bit. Despite almost zero wind and I alone up there. But the view... WOW! 👍

An interesting rock formation. In the Odenwald, pagan gods were sacrificed until late in the 5th century. However, since Christianity had already spread widely and the free practice of religion had not yet established itself, individual clans, like that of Dietbert here, looked for secret places of sacrifice. One of them was probably the Götzenstein on a flattened knoll near Ober-Absteinach, which was probably prepared in this way by human hands. Legend has it that after a fire, a Christian used the power of his faith to rescue a child from a burning house. Dietbert is said to have been so impressed that he had himself and everyone else baptized, after which the sacrificial site was obsolete. http://www.odenwald-wandern.de/sehenswuerdheiten/odenwald-sagen/goetzenstein-ober-abtsteinach.php

There is also a bench there to rest

Even if your legs are already heavy, the ascent is rewarded with a breathtaking view 👍

Very steep climb to the tower.
