3D terrain model of the Wallburg

The Wallburg Sieben Gräben , also just called Seven Ditches , is a defunct hill fort in Hohenlimburg on the left side of the Lenne on the Schleipenberg. It contained an oval core with a stone wall and stone tower. Wilhelm Bleicher also classified the facility as a provisional base. However, it may be older than Hohenlimburg Castle, 500 meters to the northeast .

The facility is designated as a cultural monument and is located in the Stoppelberg nature reserve (west of Nahmer).
