Wietzetze Langbett 1 submitted by holger_rix : My second visit. I didn't expect any change, but fellow krautrock never saw this barrow. But what a surprise ! This beautiful 50m Long Barrow was very overgrown in 2007, and now it was perfectly cleaned. Like that we could admire the barrow in a total view. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Long Barrow in Lower Saxony, Bremen.
South of the village of Witzetze, a small way leading into a forest.
As you just enter the forest, you will see the end of a Long Barrow,
there is a parking space and also some informational sign.
It's a nice place to visit.
