Impressive group of at least nine Bronze Age barrows. All but three of the mounds show trench-like incisions - traces of old excavations. Finds from the period 1863 to 1875 were dated to around 1600–1200 BC. Dated. Literature tip: Klaus Sippel - The barrows near Iba, Archaeological Monuments from Hesse No. 135.

Mountain biking

If you drive downhill from the Friedrichseiche, after a short walk you will find several 4000 year old barrows from the Bronze Age on the left.
They cannot be overlooked, as there is an information board on the history of the graves right on the way.
