Some people may see this relic from ancient times, but do not question its meaning and origin.
But the High Fens is also historically connected. So also the Tranchot pyramid.

Hiking

The so-called Tranchot Pyramid, probably from the year 1810, is located immediately behind the "Baltia Hill" (to the right of the path). The first order survey point is labeled "BOTRANCHE A TRANCHOT" (note the modern spelling: "Botrange"). Jean Joseph Tranchot (1752 - 1815) was a French geographer who, on Napoleon's orders, carried out the "Topographical Survey of the Rhineland" between 1801 - 1815.
