A large field of rapeseed extends in the background of the stones and is an eye-catcher with its bright yellow.

On the Östringer Weg in the Nettetal you will find three large stone graves from the Neolithic Age. They are referred to as Östringer stones I-III and are so-called passage graves. Plant III is located at the Östringer mill, the other two across from the roadside. They were created by people who lived between 3500 and 2800 BC. Lived. Parts of the facilities are damaged and over time the stones may have been used to build houses. Nevertheless, one of the oldest testimonies of human history in the region lies before your feet. You can read more about the graves on the information boards.
