This is no tomb at all, just a bunch of big bolders.

German Info

'In bleibender Erinnerung verblieb der Name Brachts jedoch nicht wegen seines Engagements in Sachen Steinzeit, sondern stattdessen aufgrund eines Missverständnisses.

Da die jedem Heidewanderer bekannte Ansammlung von Findlingen am Wegesrand zwischen Doehle und Wilsede den welterfahrenen Kuenstler Bracht an das - angeblich - in Kleinasien befindliche Grab des antiken Feldherrn Hannibal erinnerte, gab er ihr eben jene Bezeichnung, die sie heute noch traegt, festgeschrieben in zahlreichen Reisefuehrern als 'Hannibals Grab'.

Erst die kritische Ueberpruefung der Bodendenkmale im Rahmen der unter der Federfuehrung des Kieler Archaeologen Karl Kersten in den sechziger Jahren durchgefuehrten archaeologischen Landesaufnahme des Naturschutzparks stellte endgueltig fest, dass 'Hannibals Grab' lediglich ein Relikt der Eiszeit ist, eine Ansammlung von Findlingen eben..'
