A barrow or burial mound (Latin tumulus, plural tumuli; Greek τύμβος tymbos) is an elongated, round or oval pile of earth. Inside there are tombs or other prehistoric monuments. The graves can be body burials (possibly in a tree coffin), urn graves or scattered corpse burns. The mounds can have built-in components, e.g. B. from concentric circles, buildings (burial mounds of Trappendal), stone burial chambers or stone boxes.

Celtic burial mounds can be found along the way to the Naturfreundehaus that offers to stop by.

⚰️ A silent witness to the past: This moss-covered burial mound dates back to around 400 BC – presumably of Celtic origin. The small plaque seems almost inconspicuous, but if you look closely, you'll sense the specialness of this place. Mystical. Timeless. Touching.

📍 Tip: 🪨 Slow down a few steps here – this place has more depth than meets the eye.
