Panzergraben Schaidt

Highlight • River

The former anti-tank ditch begins behind the old station building Schaidt and ends at the Bienwald. At that time the armored ditches around Schaidt had a length of several kilometers. Today, however, only about 600 meters are available and this 'pond' is used by the Schaidter fishing club as a fish pond, a beautiful calm waters.

Mundat Border Stones

Highlight • Monument

Great boundary line and trail. Countless well-preserved landmarks and super nice to walk. Belongs to the Schaidter Westwallweg.

One-man bunker (Koch bunker) in Bienwald

Highlight • Historical Site

In the Bienwald on the Westwallweg there is still a small shelter as a reminder of the Second World War. This was designed as a fighting device and firing position. However, the one-man bunker pictured in the photo is not in the original location, but the bunkers were partially buried and / or secured by additional walls. The bunker we visited was made of concrete and provided with access hatches and viewing slits. Nearby is also an anti-tank ditch, which did not allow the tanks any further "advance".

Bildeiche Schaidt

Highlight • Monument

Here a pieta was carved around 1800 by an emigrant and an Madonna figure was inserted behind glass on an oak tree. She should provide protection and a happy crossing to America. The emigrant arrived safely in America. After the disintegration of the Pieta 1995 was completely renewed by the forestry administration and the Palatine Forest Association and sponsors the plant.

In the Bienwald and also in nearby Alsace there are still many tracks and hiking trails around the west wall and the facilities. I've wanted to run one of them for a long time and it was really nice.....😊👍🏻

Thanks also to the "PWV-Schaidt" for all the work that was done here and the many beautiful benches along the way. …

It was a long time since we were out and about with the PWV Ramberg 🥾🚶🚶🏼‍♀️🥾.

This time we went to Schaidt on the approx. 9 km long Westwallweg. The Westwall was a approx. 630 km long line of fortifications in the Third Reich that ran from the Swiss border to the Lower Rhine.

Today we were basically on a little "educational tour" - we were able to see, read and hopefully learn so much on site!

And if you want to prepare yourself for this circular hiking trail with its wealth of historical information texts (including audio texts), I can highly recommend the website

. There is also a 52-page brochure that …
