Additionally, there's now a brand-new shelter. Hopefully, it stays this nice and clean for as long as possible.

Mercury Rock Temple

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Wasenbourg was once a mighty castle (see link) of which only thick walls remain. The windows on the first floor of the palace are particularly worth seeing.

Cup-marked stones

Highlight • Forest

Bowl-shaped cavities are found here in some large blocks of sandstone.
There are several theories about their formation: Prehistorians believe they were man-made and used for ritual sacrifice. Geologists consider them to be the result of erosion.
