Prehistoric Burial Mound Near Melbeck

Highlight • Historical Site

Apparently "only" a hill in the forest, now overgrown with trees.
Prehistoric but very interesting evidence of the history of the settlement of the region.

Despite the somewhat gloomy weather, the Christmas calories had to be taken out into the fresh air.
The result was a spontaneous tour that I had only done once by bike.
Great sections of the trail that will certainly be explored in more detail when the weather is better.
