During the Middle Ages, this was a place of execution. Who used to hang out here in their past life? Gallows were last used in 1770.
Tonight white wisps wander around the top where innocent hanged spirits are looking for peace or someone to take them...

At this point is the old gallows site. A little spooky when you imagine what used to be here in the past.
There is also a stamp office for a hiking pass.

It's easy to imagine what happened at the gallows site. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the Oberkirchen court had the right to carry out death sentences.
