Hiking

Most of the graves in the huge burial ground date from the Bronze and pre-Roman Iron Age. The so-called "royal tombs" were not tombs but cremation places for the dead.

Hiking

The Pestruper burial grounds with their heather, birch trees and grassy landscape are like something out of a landscape painter's picture book.

Hiking

Grey and cold with light snowfall and wind. But not overcrowded.
