Log Text: This stone circle is right on the field next to the church. There is no direct path to it, so you have to cross the field.

Log Text: The rock carvings have been well preserved here and with the wonderful landscape in the background as a panorama, the visit is really an experience. However, the route to the carvings is a bit hidden and only signposted for the last few meters. However, a parking lot is available.

Log Text: Beautifully preserved stone cist nestled in the middle of a forest. The path is quite hidden and more of a small path. By car you drive more on bumpy slopes than roads.

Log Text: The stone circle is (as you can see in my pictures) in the middle of a cattle meadow and is therefore not always easily accessible. But otherwise a nice place on the way up from the runestone.

Log Text: The sheer number of rock carvings is overwhelming in this case. I was a bit wondering if there were more such carvings hidden under the ground.

Log Text: The ascent is a bit difficult and a bit dangerous in wet weather. The effort for someone like me, who comes 'from the flat country of Lower Saxony', is a small challenge (with a smile!)

Log Text: Places like this, where you can still see what people did and sometimes thought and lived 3000 years ago, are always something special and sometimes make you stop in awe and think about your own existence. The rock carvings are definitely such a place!
