A mystical atmosphere prevails in the juniper grove.

A beautiful barefoot path surrounds this juniper grove

It measures almost 100 meters and consists of two well-preserved megalithic chambers connected by a long stone corridor. The size of the complex suggests that this megalithic tomb was the burial place of a tribal chieftain or clan leader. The flat interiors of the supporting stones are clearly visible in the burial chambers. There is a theory that the tomb was aligned with the summer solstice on June 21st at the time of its creation.

The gorge systems, called Tangen, are typical of this area, which is now a nature reserve. Tang is Low German and means "pincer" or "branch." The term describes the waterways that originated in the Maiburg and cut deep, branching valleys into the terminal moraine landscape. An information board on site provides detailed information about the formation of the Ankum Heights and the Maiburger Tangen.

The special thing is of course the heathland with juniper. But the design of the barefoot path is also very well done.

Even if you are here a little after the main flowering period, the view is worth it. It really is a small piece of Lüneburg Heath.

A very deep stream valley with steps on both sides. It can be muddy at the bottom even in dry weather.

The Dalum Passage Tomb is a Neolithic passage grave from the period between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC and belongs to the Funnel Beaker culture. It is located in the joint municipality of Fürstenau in the Osnabrück district in Lower Saxony, about 5.7 kilometers south of Bippen. The megalithic complex has a northwest-southeast oriented, approximately 15 meter long chamber. Many of the complex's original supporting and capping stones are missing or have collapsed. Other prehistoric sites are known near the passage grave, including the so-called Hexentanzplatz, also known as the large stone grave "Maiburg 2".
