ピロウの天然記念物・トップ4

The 23-hectare protected forest serves to preserve and develop a groundwater-influenced pedunculate oak-hornbeam forest with holly, as well as stands of alder and ash, while simultaneously safeguarding the water balance and habitats of endangered plant species. As a particularly valuable remnant of such a mixed deciduous forest in the sparsely wooded Prignitz region, it is being scientifically monitored long-term and without direct human intervention to study forest development, soil, flora, fauna, and natural self-organization processes. At the same time, the area functions as a forestry demonstration plot, conserves forest genetic resources, and contributes to the long-term preservation of biodiversity in self-regulating communities.

A truly interesting and legendary place! So, this is where King Hinz from the legend rests! In November 2023, the Royal Hall of Seddin was discovered nearby, the largest of its kind in Northern Europe to date. The building measured 10 meters wide and 31 meters long and likely served as a meeting place. In October 2024, further archaeological discoveries were made, including the remains of a densely built Bronze Age settlement. These finds confirm the importance of the Seddin region as a center of Bronze Age culture and trade.

The "King's Grave" is considered the most important burial site of the 9th century BC in northern Central Europe. Its enormous size, the special construction of the burial mound, the large stone burial chamber with clay plaster and painting, together with the rich grave furnishings, reflect the existence of a Late Bronze Age elite in the Prignitz.

There isn't much to see here other than a large hill.

But the way there isn't exactly the best.

This is where the Moosterbach rises, which then flows through the Moostertal and flows into the Elde between Siggelkow and Groß Pankow. All around there are many types of rock to discover, which the Ice Age left behind here. They are labeled and the surface is sanded in one place.

Worth seeing detour to the royal tomb near Seddin, more like a burial mound from the Bronze Age. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nigsgrab_von_Seddin

The so-called royal tomb of Seddin is a burial mound 63.8 m in diameter and 10 m high from the more recent Bronze Age around 800 BC. BC The finds came to the Märkisches Museum Berlin in 1899. The surviving originals, supplemented by copies, can be seen in the permanent exhibition again since 2002. Replicas of the find complex can be seen in the Perleberg City and Regional Museum, the Prignitz Museum in Havelberg and the Brandenburg Archaeological Museum in the Paulikloster.
