Willi Basalt, the little companion on the history road "What was really true", explains what the burial mounds are all about. This is how you stand here in a cemetery, even if you don't notice it at first glance. But if you look around, you will discover small mounds that could in fact be ancient graves - so-called burial mounds. There were probably a lot of graves here, about twenty of them have been preserved to this day, here on the ridge and on the forest path to Gelenberg. They are among the most important prehistoric finds in the High Eifel, because they prove that the region must have been inhabited a long, long time ago. They probably come from the so-called Hunsrück-Eifel culture of the pre-Roman Iron Age (400 - 500 BC). In the days of the Romans, people were also buried here, as finds such as urns, coins and arrowheads suggest. A connection with the nearby ring wall system can also be assumed.
