Looking for hollow ways (deeply furrowed historical paths) on Heidelberg's Königstuhl! What are hollow ways, what do they look like, how do they form, and where can you find them? I consult a historical map from the middle of the 19th century and show how to work with it digitally. There is also a table of contents for the video below :-) I distance myself from any kind of grave robbing. Please adhere to the detectorist's code of honor! https://www.plejadium.de/real-life/hi... ### LINKS ### Information about hollow ways and how they were formed: https://www.plejadium.de/real-life/hi...
