オシャースレーベンの天然記念物・トップ20

The Himmelsteich in Sommerschenburg with an area of approx. 11,100 m² is part of the “Harbke - Allertal” landscape protection area. A heavenly pond or heavenly pond is a still body of water that is not fed by any surface inflow and draws water exclusively from precipitation and groundwater. Aside from groundwater-fed ponds, they are found only in areas where annual rainfall exceeds evaporation. At this point in time, after extensive rainfall, the "wild" pond is definitely there.

Great and nearby highlight

Source: Wikipedia The Seehausen menhir (also called "Götterstein" or "Langer Stein") is a menhir in Seehausen, a district of the town of Wanzleben-Börde in the Börde district in Saxony-Anhalt. It stands in the direction of Eggenstedt, on an uphill dirt road, one kilometer from the lake and is the northernmost statue menhir in Germany. The stone was stored in January 2017 in the depot of the Saxony-Anhalt State Office for Monument Preservation and Archeology in Halle (Saale). A copy was set up at the original location.[1] Other menhirs of this quality have also been taken to museums as a precaution. A thing site is said to have been located on the 2.4 m high semi-anthropomorphic standing stone. The heavily weathered stone with an oval cross-section has petroglyphs, of which very accurate images exist. They show a circle, a broad ax with handle and a sash. The older drawings still show parts of a decorated belt. Urn finds indicate that burials took place at the site. The representation is interpreted in the scientific literature as a human-like figure. Comparisons suggest an interpretation as a fertility goddess. Since incised motifs are not common in German archeology, the comparison material can be easily compiled. It becomes clear that this motif belongs to the Bernburg culture. The area on the Hoher Holz can be identified as the northern fringe zone of this culture.

Unfortunately there is no longer a lake.

The Domburg is located in the middle of a wonderfully beautiful deciduous forest. An information board with the history of the castle can also be found, as well as seating. Very nice hiking trail from the Heteborn cemetery car park.

It's still fine in early summer, but when the temperatures rise, the pond grows over and starts to stink. In the past, ABMs were used for desludging, but today climate change is to blame for the development. 🤔

Special postmark of the HWN "Castles and Castles" and a nice photo motif, an information board offers interesting facts

The "Hexenstein" is so called because small nails are hammered in everywhere. At least that's how it was when I was a kid and played there. And nails in the stone - that's witchcraft 😉
