Rain

Leutnantschanze

Nature on the ramparts: the Leutnantschanze and the Ziegelschanze are a reminder of Rain’s fortifications that were so important right up until the 18th century and now form a wonderful green girdle around the town offering an inviting place to walk. The Schwabtor has been reconstructed on the basis of historical evidence and illustrations.
