マルピンゲン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The dam at Bostalsee is an impressive structure that dams the largest artificial recreational lake in southwest Germany. The dam not only serves an important function for water sports and leisure activities, but also offers a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding landscape. With its length of around 500 meters and a height of 20 meters, the dam, which was completed in 1979, is an impressive structure. A walk across the dam is particularly recommended at sunset, when the light bathes the lake in warm colors.

Personally, I liked the originality of the lake as it still existed in the 80s much better than the commercialized version that one finds today.

In the winter there is ice bathing here. ❄️❄️❄️

𝑮𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒎 𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒆𝒎 𝑲𝒓𝒆𝒖𝒛 𝒃𝒆𝒊 𝑺𝒐𝒕𝒛𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒓 In 1914 a tower in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm II was to be built on the mountain plateau. However, the execution of this plan was interrupted by the First World War. Only a 5 m high ruin remained, on which a tower with an integrated war memorial chapel was built from 1927. The larger-than-life crucifix set in the central arch of the tower was striking. This tower had to be demolished in 1972 because it was in disrepair. The undamaged crucifix should be blown up. The construction workers, all from the Catholic villages in the vicinity or of Italian origin, refused to blow up the symbol of faith. The crucifix was removed undamaged, kept for a short time in a shed on the edge of the mountain plateau and later set up not far from the motorway junction near Sotzweiler. Source: Text Wikipedia

𝑹ö𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒆 𝑯ö𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒈 The extensive excavations that were carried out during the redesign of the Schaumberg plateau showed for the first time that the area was already being used intensively in Roman times. An extensive building with mighty walls in particular deserves attention. It proves that the square was already built on in the 3rd century AD. The foundation stone of the building took place in the 1st / 2nd Century AD. The oldest part is a wall at least 19m long and 1.1m thick made of hand blocks, which belonged to a 12m wide building, against which several vaulted cellars were placed shortly afterwards. A coin find shows that these cellars were demolished towards the end of the 3rd century AD and the building was reinforced by a row of arched walls. Very unusual and almost unknown from archaeological excavations, these arches do not open inwards but outwards. The building is interpreted as a high altitude sanctuary, which later became a fortification structure. Source: Text information board
