Historical site Bélebësch
Wooded knoll near Blumenthaland Jeanharis. Reachable via the hiking trails J3 /Extratour D

A long, wooded knoll rises between Godbringen and the Blumenthal. The “Beelebësch” is steeped in legend. The Celts named it after a patron deity. Historians believe that the name “Beelen” comes either from the Celtic god “Bel” or “Belaun” (god of the sun) or from the goddess “Belisama” (goddess of the hunt). In any case, at that time, this was a place frequented by Celtic Druids According to legend, the “Incarnate One” is said to live on the heights in a deep hole, called the “Rutschlay”. An evil lady of Bourglinster Castle, known to be a witch called “Zizewitz”, who plagued and oppressed her vassals, is said to have been received by the Devil after her death.
