Great tour, still room for improvement, accessible from Bützow train station.

The Boitin Stone Dance is one of the most famous archaeological monuments in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It consists of four stone circles. The stone circles are located in the Tarnow district of Boitin, near the town of Bützow - in the forest, on a straight stretch between Tarnow and Zernin (approx. 2.2 km). The Boitin Stone Dance consists of three stone circles that are close together and a stone circle about 100 m opposite. The position of the stone circles and information about them can be seen on an information board on site. The large stone circle consists of 9 stones. Some stones have names, such as "Kanzel". The granite stone that tapers upwards, with the vertical row of holes, is called the "Brautlade". A shelter offers shelter in bad weather. Seating invites you to linger.

The story in brief: The glacier of the Ice Age came from Scandinavia, big, thick and fat (you can hardly imagine how fat it was!), pushed everything in front of it that stood in its way, and came to a standstill 16,000 years ago. The ice that melted flowed forward (i.e. south) and collected in large lakes. When it got warmer (15,000 years ago), the glacier crumbled and melted; the meltwater continued to flow forward (south) in channels, collected... and at some point (11,000 years ago) there was no glacier left, the surface was smooth and also lower, the direction of flow in the channels reversed... and the Warnow deepened the channel by pushing up hills (terminal moraine). Sure, everyone knows that. But seeing all this live, with a 30-40m difference in height between the chain of hills and the Warnow bed, with this story in mind, is a different matter, namely very impressive.

It is estimated that several thousand stone circles were built in Europe in the Middle Stone Age. Many of them have disappeared over time, e.g. due to weathering or the formation of moors, others were used as material. Today only a few hundred remain. There are three stone circles next to each other here, a fourth in the forest a little way away, with a total of 30 menhirs (up to 1.60m high). There is even said to have been a fifth. The age is unclear, but at least people who died later in the Iron Age (750 BC to 1000 AD) are said to have been buried here. Wikipedia has an explanation of the calendar function, according to which the sunrise at the winter solstice, the 13 lunar months (Small Stone Dance), the 28 days of the month (Great Stone Dance), the 13x28=364 +1 (extra stone)=365 days of the year and the leap year solution (every four years - four additional stones) -->365 1/4 days are measurable/represented. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boitiner_Steintanz

Warnow - waterfall at the end of the breakthrough valley. You can swim just before the canoe launch.

It is very beautiful here.

Interesting historic church in Laase.
