Buchkammerfels

The Buchkammerfels rock formation on the Heidenberg (german: pagan mountain).

 

Inside of the rock formation there are man-made chambers, also called Heidenkammern (german: pagan chambers) of unclear origin. It is assumed, that they existed before 1523.

It is possible that theye were used as a hideout for precious goods from the nearby Drachenfels (german: dragon rock) castle, as a observation post, or as the castle’s prison.

 

The last time they were used during the Second World War, to this day remains of undergrounds bunkers are visible around the rock formation.
