The so-called Bohlenweg im Wittemoor (Reg. No. XLII (IP)) is a prehistoric moorland path near Neuenhuntorf, a district of Berne in the Wesermarsch district in Lower Saxony. The trail was excavated and scientifically described in 1965 and 1970. The Bohlenweg in Wittemoor is one of numerous sites where prehistoric moor paths were found in the Low German Plain, particularly in the Weser-Ems region. Sections of Bohlenweg XLII (42) were uncovered, on which a total of six abstract wooden figures were found at various points. The first found was a pair of figures, which probably represent a male and female deity (anthropomorphic pole gods), and are among the few surviving carvings from the Iron Age. The faceless couple was positioned where the boardwalk crossed a ford.

The reconstruction of this prehistoric boardwalk stands on the edge of the Witte Moor. In the past, when the moor was not yet drained, there was no other way to cross it. Today everything is much easier. Some boards provide information about the history and a large seating area invites you to take a break.
