Round Barrow(s) at Sylt in Schleswig-Holstein

The Frisian freedom fighter Pidder Lüng is said to have been executed and buried on the Bronze Age tumulus in 1518.
Since then, he has been said to visit the Boikenhoog tumulus south of Luke as a ghost to call on the undefeated hero Boh to establish Friesian freedom and self-determination.
A skeleton is said to have been found during excavations at the Gallighoog ('Gallows Hill' . Gallows Hill) around 1880.

Thanks to the Sylter Heimatverein, there is a information board nearby.
