Tips

The Wulvemote is still very recognizable in structure, even though nature has taken back much of what once was. When reading the information board, this mote (or motte) refers to a house (made of wood and loam) for a farming family and herd surrounded by a ditch. Another theory would see this mote as part of a protective belt of various motes. This protective belt would have functioned as a line of defense against the Norsemen. Little is known about the function(s) of motes and it will probably remain a mystery forever…

The information board also warns the hiker about the “eternal hunter” who is said to roam here at night. According to legend, a farmer’s son preferred hunting to harvesting, so the farmer/father cursed him to an eternal hunt. Sometimes you can still hear the hunting horn or the calling of the dogs. I didn’t hear anything, but then again, I don’t normally walk through a forest at night. 😉
