Wanna Gravenberg
Wanna Gravenberg submitted by Andreas : view from the North (September 2010) (Vote or comment on this photo)
Famous Round Barrow in the area of Wanna, Lower Saxony, Bremen.
The overgrown barrow seen from the Southeast.
According to a local legend it's said that a Graf (Count or Earl) von Süderleda
was buried in the barrow.
However the barrow's name (probably meaning Gräberberg = "Graves Mountain")
seems to be older than the legend.
I suppose the name actually relates to the large urn cemetery around the barrow.
