Grotenbach submitted by Harald_Platta on 23rd Aug 2017. The Grotenbach is a well and small stream in Witten (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany).
Its name might connect it to the Germanic god Odin.
The area is hardly accessible in the summer months because of the dense vegetation. The picture shows the Grotenbach a few meters downstream of the well exit, which lies near the houses on the left side of the picture. The streambed is indicated by the relatively free space in the middle of the picture.
The photo was taken in August 2017.

Wanna Huegelgrab 6 submitted by Andreas on 6th Oct 2010. Distant view, approximately from SouthSouthwest, to the overgrown barrow.
The meadow between the road (Postweg) and the barrow usually is frequented by model airplanes, with the result that my visit almost caused a panic among their pilots.
Especially the local groundsman was (loudly) concerned about my health, shouting something about danger and past accidents.
But obviously the missiles have missed me ...

The reconstruction shows a "5 yokes-chamber", consisting of 5 capstones, 10 supporting stones at the long sides and 2 further uprights at the narrow sides.
