The "Baroque Schanze Prechtal" refers to a defensive fortification (Schanze) in the Black Forest built during the Baroque period (circa 17th century) to protect the Prechtal Valley and the surrounding areas from French invasions. These fortifications were part of a larger defensive system along the Black Forest, stretching over 200 kilometers and securing strategically important roads and crossings. Specifically, the Schanze in the Prechtal referred to a fortification located on the watershed between the Elz and Gutach rivers, which was intended to prevent the crossing to Hornberg, as reported on a website about the Baroque fortification. The Prechtal Valley was connected to the Black Forest via the Kinzig Valley, and therefore securing this area was of great importance.

Further along, you'll also see a stone wall. It was once a fortification. Today, it's a nice place to take a break.

Unfortunately it no longer exists. The bench collapsed and fell down the hill.

Beautiful view of Mühlenbach

Beautiful view down into the Prechtal

From the rest area on the Prechtaler Schanze you have a wonderful view
