Burgstall Schanzenberg

The Burgstall Schanzenberg , also called Alte Schanze, Römerschanze , is a defunct hill fort on the 471 meter high summit of the Schanzenberg 60 meters above the valley near the municipality of Traitsching in the Upper Palatinate district of Cham in Bavaria .

Finds and the shape of the hilltop castle with a large ring wall and hillside moat indicate that it was built around the year 900. The castle probably served to protect an important road from the Danube region to Bohemia . Today the Burgstall is a ground monument .
