"Galgen" Ulmen
Ulmen
Experience Point No. 5 on the "Hexen, Henker & Halunken" hike takes you to a place of dark history – the Gallows, located around kilometer 4.
At the top of the Jakobsberg plateau, nearly 550 meters above sea level, you are rewarded with an open view across the region. In the past, this viewpoint was chosen as the site of the gallows, visible from afar as a warning to all. However, some were undeterred, and many offenders took their last look across this landscape here, fulfilling their fate.
From here, the "Hexen, Henker & Halunken" trail descends toward the next historical site, the third place of shame.
