Wallburg Bruchhauser Steine

The Wallburg Bruchhauser Steine spans across four large rock formations reaching heights of 756 meters, with defensive walls connecting the massive stone structures.

The fortress dates back to the 6th century BC, serving as a strategic fortification to protect copper and iron mining activities in the surrounding region.

Archaeological findings at the site reveal continuous human presence from the Neolithic period through the Middle Ages, including a 2600-year-old bronze bracelet.

Visitors can access the site through marked trails from the information center, which provides detailed exhibits about the geological and historical features.

The four main rocks - Goldstein, Bornstein, Feldstein, and Ravenstein - contain cyclopean walls and defensive trenches integrated into their natural formation.
