グネヴコーの天然記念物・トップ7

氷河期からのご挨拶です。

In the 8th/9th century, a large early Slavic castle complex of the Wilzen family stood northeast of Lindenberg on a ridge up to 15 m high in the Augraben valley. From 1829 to 1864, the economic councilor Daniel Friedrich Maaß from Alt Kentzlin had already been investigating prehistoric and medieval finds in Pomerania. In the moat of the former castle complex, he was able to unearth eleven vessels as well as iron weapons, war knives, axes, swords, and spearheads. It was likely a refuge from the "Feldberg period," built on a rising spur of land. The entire eastern side of the castle appears to have been erected, as only the ramparts facing the Augraben have survived. In its final stage, the castle consisted of two sections and is now up to 180 m in size. At the highest point of the spur lies a small circular rampart with an outer diameter of approximately 45 m. Whether this is a later installation from the late 9th to 10th century must be clarified by modern archaeology!

The big chunk is really huge...

After the Markgrafensteinen, the Großer Stein is the largest boulder lying on land in northern Germany and the second largest known boulder in northern Germany after the 550-ton Buskam, which lies in the water of the Baltic Sea. The Great Stone probably came to its current location during the Vistula Ice Age. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Großer_Stein_(Altentreptow)

Very interesting, there is an information board in Mirow about this boulder called "Raising a Giant". It couldn't have been the small stone in Mirow either. It made me curious and research showed that it is in Altentreptow. I hope there is an information board there too. The small boulder and the board in Mirow about the "giant" remain a mystery. https://www.morgenpost.de/vermischtes/article232225271/Spektakulaere-Hebung-von-Riesen-Findling.html

The Great Stone is the largest erratic boulder in northern Germany after the Markgrafensteine and the second largest known boulder in northern Germany after the 550-ton Buskam, which lies in the water of the Baltic Sea. The Great Stone probably came to its current location during the Vistula Ice Age.

Interesting small buildings on the Tollense

The weir can be crossed with bicycles (carrying) with a little effort. It is not barrier-free and its use is officially prohibited. But the way is open and is also used as such. The nearest bridges over the Tollense are first, in the north: Alt Tellin/ in the south: Klempenow, each 5km away.
