ヴェスターホルツの天然記念物・トップ5

Two ramparts in the Westerholz region Small rampart: Bronze Age (1800-1250 BC) and La Tène period (500-15 BC) shards have accumulated at this site over time. Large rampart: A embankment and a ditch begin at the head of the erosion gully and extend in a wide arc, first eastward, then southward, and finally westward to the edge of the slope. Roman pottery pieces have also been found at the rampart.

Sign pointing to the former castle

Hallstatt period 750 to 500 BC. The transitions between the eras are fluid. The first burial grounds were discovered on the salt mountain near Hallstatt in 1846, hence the name. There is also a clear hierarchy within society, based on the size and grave goods!

This morning I set a highlight point in komoot at the beginning of the burial mounds! Unfortunately there are no signposts

Not so easy to see anymore. Thanks to the information board you get a rough idea. The small rampart was dated to the Bronze and Roman periods. (Shards found) In the early Middle Ages it was expanded to the large rampart.

The two redoubts were already used in the Bronze Age and are probably more of a secondary fortification than a castle

In the northeast of Westerholz is located within the state forest area, the designated and 40-acre natural forest reserve (also known as egret blow). Here no forestry use of the forest takes place. Characteristic of the Westerholz: are the spruce with hochrankendem ivy

A very nice section here. The trees work with the right light. The trees are strongly surrounded.
