    The highest elevation in the area. From here you have a nice view to Duhnen.

    Hiking

    The highest elevation in this region. It is indeed high up here. At least for the Nordic lowlands. After snowfall in February, we climb the Galgenberg which is also a cultural-historical monument.

    In its original form, the Galgenberg is neither a gallows nor a mountain, but an extensive burial ground. The time range has been proven to be from 5000 BC to around 700, 800 AD.

    Around 800 AD, the burial mound was raised to form a fortified hill, probably with a wooden tower or a fortified castle, which at the time was mostly no more than a palisade ring wall. There was also a dry ditch and a rampart all around.
