Kurhany Trątkownica
Kurhany Trątkownica submitted by SolarMegalith : Trątkownica - the largest kurhan (round barrow) with stone kerbing around it (photo taken on August 2009). (Vote or comment on this photo)
This barrow cemetery was build by the people of Wielbark culture in its early period. The round barrows are quite well preserved. Next to them there is also a significant stone circle with a stone row leading to it.

Tha archaeologists from the University of Warsaw and University of Łódź were conducting excavations here. One of the most serious discovers was a place where offerings were made. Archaeologists discovered also pottery and other traces of presence of the Bronze Age Pomeranian culture.

The sites is called "Kamienne Wesele", you can easily reach it by turning right just after leaving Babi Dół (driving from the North). After several km you will see the round barrows to your left.
