Hochstein (Lawalde)
__FORCETOC__ The Hochstein ( Sorbian: 'Rubježny hród') is a mountain in Saxony, eastern Germany. At an elevation of 533.1 m (1,749 ft), it is the easternmost peak of the Czorneboh chain in the Upper Lusatian Highlands. At the summit cliffs, which are under protection as natural monuments, the mica granodiorite of which the mountain consists can be observed breaking through the surface. Ramparts A prehistoric rampart encloses the up to 10 m high rocks. In 1841, historian Karl Benjamin Preusker suspected a pagan sacrificial place at the site. Archaeological investigations around 1900 revealed a Slavic or other medieval use. The question after the function of the site, however, could not be answered. Around 1350 the rocks are said to have served as a hiding place to a group of bandits, which is why the site was also called a robber castle on old maps and is still called so in Sorbian today. Hiking trails The Kammweg, which leads from to Großpostwitz, is marked with the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hochstein (rocks)
The Hochstein, near the little southwest Palatine town of Dahn in southwest Germany, is a rock formation that is very popular with sports climbers and walkers. Structure and location The Hochstein (345 m) belongs to the many bunter sandstone rock formations that are typical of the Wasgau, a region that covers the southern part of the Palatine Forest and the northern part of the Vosges. Because the region of Dahn is especially rich in such landforms, it is known as the Dahn Rock Country (''Dahner Felsenland''). The Hochstein - like the other rock outcrops of the region - is made of a harder rock that has partly withstood erosion over the centuries. The entire massif runs for 1½ km east of Dahn across the Wieslauter stream and is heavily subdivided. Especially striking is the ''Hochsteinnadel'' ("Hochstein Needle") at the western tip of the massif, near St. Michael's Chapel. Next is the ''Gratturm'', followed by the main ''Hochsteingrat'' ridge itself. From here there are ou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
