Magnificent view from the moss hut.

So much nature where you least expect it!

The Mooshütte is a wonderful resting place.

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 Mooshütte is located by a small pond. It invites you to take a break.

The burial mound with its stone casket dates from the Bronze Age, circa 2000–1200 BC. It is a stone casket formed from six approximately 1-meter-high boulders and sealed with three large capstones. The entire burial complex was severely damaged in 1973 and was rebuilt. A plaque provides information about this.

Eggermühlen Castle dates back to the 14th century.
