History
In our research work we have turned to cooperating archaeologists, historians and
other specialists.
![Page 24: Ring valls Archaeological localities in the Czech-German borderland](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013012/56649d2f5503460f94a07e0f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hypotheses• Ancient sanctuaries and sacrificial places to pagan gods• Safehold of Slavic peasants in case of the settlement attacked
by an enemy; used probably by northwestern Slaves. (Prof. Herrmann).
• First support points built in the period of German by knights who did not manage to build solid castles yet. (Karel Alberti, Anton Gnirls).
• Medieval support points and residential towers of lower aristocracy. (Jaroslav Fiala).
• Medieval fortresses built along trade routes for their protection. (Bohumil Broukal, Zdeněk Buchtele)
• Places for breeding of bees and honey depots, as protection against bears - from Slavic or perhaps older period. (dr. Kroupa)
• Smithery and pottery workshops outside residential areas to prevent spreading of fire. (Current German sources)

Project of preservation
We suggest preservation of the monuments.
The suggestion includes popularization by creation of educational paths, paths for bikers, marking of localities, etc.
It depends on acquiring of funds for Czech-German projects of cooperation across the borders.

Utilisation for tourism of spa guests
• All localities are close to the spa cities.
• Convenient walk through nice forests to relax on fresh air.
• Possibility of interconnection of some localities by paths for bikers.

Experience with protection of other archaeological localities

• Stone rows in Kounov• Stone sacrificial circle (Cehnice)
• Objects type "henge" (Horní Metelsko)
