Hiking

The rampart was probably built during the Thirty Years' War, when the Electorate of Mainz destroyed Adolfseck. In this respect, the complex can be viewed as a siege castle. Its location meant that access from the left bank of the Aar to Adolfseck could be blocked. In addition, Adolfseck Castle could be easily fired upon from this position.
