Last Line of Defense

In the woods, an old defence line from the 17th century meanders through the hills and valleys next to my home place in southwestern Germany. This Eppinger lines reached from Weißenstein (Pforzheim) over Sternenfels, Eppingen, right to Neckargmünd with a total length of 86 kilometers. This construction was built during the War of the Palatinate Succession (pfälzischer Erbfolgekrieg) in which the French King Louis XIV (called the Sun King) claimed the heritage of Elisabeth Charlotte, Princess of the Palatinate. Today, a nice hiking trail follows the line and reconstructed lookout towers can be visited.
