**Hügelgräber am Holzberg** submitted by CharcoalBurner89 : One of the tumuli east of the road. Unfortunately also very overgrown. June 12, 2021 (Vote or comment on this photo)

Barrow Cemetery in Lower Saxony, Bremen. In the forest around the hill 'Holzberg' there are still eight more or less well-preserved tumuli to this day. No grave goods could be found during excavations. However, the presence of a tree coffin could be identified. In addition, further traces showed that the area was apparently already settled before the Bronze Age. The tumuli can be found both to the west and east of the K113 road. I have chosen the information board as the starting point and localization for this site. There is also a detailed map on it to find the other tumuli and one is directly behind the information board.
