Hiking

There was once a 14 meter long burial chamber here - the bearing stones and capstones have largely been preserved (even if some are slightly offset). You can even see the enclosure if you look closely. An exciting piece of the Neolithic!

The megalithic tomb belongs to the Giersfeld stone grave field. It is not known how many graves Giersfeld originally comprised, but many of them have been destroyed or removed. Here at the megalithic tomb Rickelmann II, it is very clear that stone chambers were originally covered with earth. Half of the tomb has therefore been preserved half-covered.
