    5000 year old megalithic tombs. According to the vernacular, the devil threw her there.

          The tree between the stones is also particularly worth seeing. He tries to overcome the stones.

            Very mystical place that invites you to linger. You can even picnic there because benches and tables are available

              The LWL writes: "The large stone grave "Düwelsteene" is located about 3.5 km east of the municipality of Heiden in the Nordick farming community and is thus one of the southernmost find sites in the distribution of this type of grave in Westphalia, which is otherwise represented in larger numbers in the northern parts of the country The Düwelsteene are one of the oldest prehistoric and early historical relics in the region that are still visible in the area as early as 1713 the treatise Sepulcretum Westphalico-Mimigardico gentile ("Westfälisch-Münsterländische Heidengräber") by the clergyman and antiquarian Jodocus Hermann Nünning (1675 to 1753) was published."

                I really like the display boards; they are made of metal and modeled after megaliths.
