    Hiking

    The "Schräge Wand" is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the region. First used by humans as a shelter, the "Schräge Wand" probably dates from an early phase of the Mesolithic period. From this period, traces of a windbreak made of fur or branches and a hearth could be detected at a depth of approximately 1.4 meters.
