The Galgenberg above Neuhausen is a small plateau with a pond and beautiful pine trees. There's plenty of space between the trees, and interesting soil features likely mark a turbulent border past. According to the Neuhausen local chronicle, the last death sentence was carried out there in 1793, on a woman who had poisoned her husband.
