Hiking
This steep bank was given the name Ballastberg, as the cogs and other ships that ran out during the Hanseatic League sometimes carried additional ballast in the form of sand extracted here.
This ballast ensured better seaworthiness of the previously unloaded or partially loaded ships.
The mining sites can still be seen very well today.
