Dannewerk information board

The Dannewerk information board, strategically placed near the Danevirke Museum and the mini golf course, serves as an informative guide for cyclists and history buffs. It sheds light on the historical significance of the impressive ramparts that characterize the town and give it its name. This rampart is a silent witness to the turbulent past of Northern Europe and its relations with Central Europe, characterized by conflicts and cooperation. The ramparts are still well preserved in many places and, together with the Viking settlement of Haithabu, form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another historical aspect highlighted on the Dannewerk information board is the role of the rampart passage in Dannewerk as a customs post for The "Ox Trail" (Ochsenweg). This aspect underlines the strategic importance of the place in times gone by. The Dannewerk information board is therefore more than just a source of information, it is a window into the past that provides a deeper insight into the history and culture of the region.
