Bronze Age Burial Mound '1000-Year-Old Linden' (Vierde)

Between Dorfmark and Vierde there is a prehistoric burial mound "1000-year-old lime tree" near Brock, a protected cultural monument.
During the excavation work carried out in 1981, three body burials facing east-west and a halfway intact stone wreath were uncovered.
A bronze needle and a small ceramic vessel were found as accessories.
This historically valuable grave complex was discovered directly on the site of the former "1000-year-old linden tree", revealed and impressively reconstructed in the 1980s with an intact stone wreath.

It is striking how tall people were back then; actually a contemplative place if it weren't for the A7.

The fifth stage of the Freudenthalweg trail also runs along this path. All information about the Freudenthalweg can be found at the following link: lueneburger-heide.de/natur/touren/4666/freudenthalweg-wanderweg-lueneburger-heide.html (as of August 9, 2025).
