Ancient Village or Settlement in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg. Hillfort Willenscharen is from about 900 AD and directly by small river Stoer. Nowadays directly at mainroad, so easy accessable. One of quite a few strategically placed Saxonian hillforts in the area.
Still in good condition, even though a very small part is destroyed. Hillfort is about 9 meters high and has a diameter of 40 meters. There are explanation signs with good infos and a tiny parking lot and stairs up the hill. It is quite surprising that there are houses and gardens going right into it...
worth a short visit!
