Hiking

Nice photo of the 400 square meter facility, which today still has its own parcel marked GALGEN. In addition to the dismantled stone algae, there is also a stone known as the executioner's bench. From here a view of the Kainsbach valley and the Morsberg * 517 m.
I recommend hessen-martin.de to anyone who is more interested in the execution sites in the Odenwald

Hiking

The "Am Galgen" refuge was created in 1995 by the Transport and Improvement Association (VVV O.K.). From 1625 to 1806, this was the place of execution for the Upper Kainsbach Center

At the refuge you can also have a picnic at the seating area and enjoy the great view.
