Sachsenhain

The 15-hectare site features 4,500 boulders arranged along a two-kilometer path, alongside five reconstructed half-timbered houses in the northern section.

Constructed from 1934 to 1936 under National Socialist direction, the site was established to commemorate the alleged execution of Saxon leaders by Charlemagne in 782.

The forest grounds include informational panels that detail the transformation from its initial purpose to its current role as an educational center.

Visitors can access the public walking trails throughout the forest grounds, which connect various historical markers and natural landscapes.

Local farmers contributed ancient megalithic stones to the memorial, including runestones and sacrificial stones that were relocated from their original locations.
