Boring route through tall and wet grass, even the best hiking boots can't get through it.

The great resting place is the ruins of a windmill.

Impressive grave made of thick boulders from the Neolithic period. According to the information board, the stones were probably pulled over snow in winter. With 100 helpers, the grave took almost 3 months to complete.

This is probably what the megalithic tombs must have looked like in the past. Anyone who dares can crawl inside. A flashlight is very helpful.

Actually a nice path along the Nordradde, unfortunately the grass was quite high when I last visited in August 2024. Not a big problem, but you should be prepared for it. (wet feet, ticks...)
