Wow this is a brutal spot with 3 close monuments , a small Chappel a Christus statue and the ruins of the "wartenstein" castle, the place has a beautiful view over the valley, all of this places are connected with small trails, the majestic wall from the castel still standing! There is plenty information about how it was and when it was build.. By the entrance in the wall of the ruin, on the other side you can find a large place with barbecue or just place for a fire and great spot for a nap! Its around 800 years old! There is plenty of parking space, when you arrive to the place its easy to spot it Acess for wheelchairs is possible to the Christus statue but very dificult to the Chappel and probably impossible for wheelchairs to the ruins The restaurant is closed due to the current situation

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
