Hiking

A strange monument is hidden between Muttental and the Hardenstein ruins in the old Dünkelberg quarry. Hewn out of the rock, the former Reich President Paul von Hindenburg looks at the walker. The unemployed Gustav Oehler from Witten-Heven was only 22 years old when he created the rock painting in 1930. Oehler only had a hammer and chisel, no dynamite and no jackhammer. So his project had to be small.
