Given the name, you'd expect something different. According to the information board: "These stone blocks are remnants of the Ice Age. They are made of quartz and belong to a vein in the Meissen Granodiorite Massif. (Granodiorite = a plutonic rock containing silica.) Since the 19th century, they have been called "Heathengräber" (heathen graves). Secret meetings and gatherings took place here during various periods."

A beautiful and interesting place. It's a great place to take a break. Seating is available. Heathen Graves: These stone blocks are remnants of the Ice Age.

In the middle of the forest, on the Raupenbergweg, are the remains of the "heathen stones" dating back to the Ice Age. However, these stones are wrongly called heathen graves. They are simply blocks of vein quartz from the Meissen granite massif. They are meant to remind us of the numerous megalithic graves, the discovery of which was made by the teacher and local historian Kurt Schöne. According to the sign, however, secret meetings and gatherings also took place here... for whatever reason...

Interesting little place in the middle of the Golkwald, the magic of the stones is unbroken, so you can easily imagine that secret meetings used to take place here.

At 201m above sea level, the Kutschenberg is already one of the low mountain ranges and is still the highest mountain in Brandenburg. So if you want to hike the 16-Summits Germany (the highest peak in each federal state), you can't avoid this mountain. Parking spaces to start a hike can be found, for example, at the cemetery in Kleinkmehlen. The tour on the Kutschenberg is suitable for families overall, only the short stretch from the ski hut up to the summit is a bit steeper. At the top is the pictured stele and a few meters further in the forest the boundary stone that marks the border with Saxony.
