I find the remains of our ancestors very interesting. Unfortunately, there is not much left of them.

The Königsberg is 568 meters high. Its summit is forested, so you don't have a view from the top. It is still worth a visit, because there is a small summit cross, a hut and several picnic tables on the summit.

heather dish In 1595 a travelogue wrote down what had been found at about this point: "There they found ... twelve carved stone pillars made by human hands. And one pillar stood in the middle between the 12 pillars, one was larger than the other." Today it is assumed that this is an old thing (place of assembly and court) from the early days. The replica reminds you of that. [Text: Flyer "Celtic Prince's Grave and Heath Court]
