Tips

Lemmi alias Schlumpf

April 8, 2023

Hiking

A Prignitz legend tells that a mighty giant lived in Lenzen a long time ago. To test his strength, he threw large boulders into the Rambower See. When he died, his companions put these stones together into a burial chamber and buried the giant in it. Even today, these boulders rise calmly and proudly from the ground of the Mellener Höhnengrave.

First monumental stone building of the Prignitz; Interesting burial site from the Stone Age, next to it a "monumental" rest and barbecue area from modern times

The still well-preserved megalithic grave, which was built about 5,000 years ago, is a testimony of ancient megalithic culture. It is an impressive place where history comes alive and you keep asking yourself how people 5000 years ago moved and assembled such great stones.
