Ketelbarg Hill and archaeological site

Highlight • Historical Site

We found a small hill but unfortunately no blackboard to find out the description of this site. But we also didn't want to dig for treasures. These are in a museum.

December 15, 2023,Die Wingst Tour

My weekend has already started today and I went to Wingst today to switch off. Did a round trip of wading and that felt good. Not a single person met in the forest. But a brief encounter with the squirrel. We were both shocked for a moment. Otherwise it was very relaxing. 😊
