    A historical monument is the World War II tank barrier at Grölisbach. Starting in 1939, these barriers were built along a total of 630 kilometers of the West Wall.

    Due to their shape, they are also known as the Dragon's Teeth or the Humped Line. What was once a military defense line has now become a valuable habitat for flora and fauna.
