The Kapf above Egenhausen appears calm and unassuming today, almost like an ordinary viewpoint. But it was precisely here that an anti-aircraft position was located during the Second World War. The elevated location was deliberately used to monitor and defend the airspace. Little is visible today of the facilities from that time; much is overgrown or has long since been dismantled. This is precisely what makes the place interesting: the history is not obvious, but rather lies between the lines of the landscape. Anyone who engages with it quickly realizes that this section is more than just another point on the map.

The Egenhäuser Kapf is very reminiscent of the Venusberg in Aidlingen. Juniper bushes and silver thistles are the prominent plants on the barren soils. From up here, there are always beautiful views of Egenhausen and the Black Forest. You can drive up quite far by car. There are plenty of parking spaces at the top along the road.

The anti-aircraft position belonged to the Western Air Defence Zone and was built in 1939. It consisted of four standing areas for heavy anti-aircraft guns, four blockhouses for accommodating the operating personnel and command posts 1 and 2. All structures of the anti-aircraft position on the Egenhäuser Kapf have been listed as historical monuments since 2005. Today, access to the underground rooms is closed off by two steel doors. Through the small windows you can only see two empty rooms.
