Great watchtower and great stops along a monotonous and boring loop trail!

Nice resting place between fields. The Marterl set up has a historical background. On the way back of a supply transport from Ingolstadt to the fortress Wülzburg, on January 25, 1634 a supply of the league got into a Swedish ambush on the Jura plateau near Raitenbuch. 300 men lost their lives and 800 were captured along with their commanders. The Feldmarterl with a picture stands at the point where hundreds of League soldiers lost their lives.
