In the Giersfeld, many megalithic graves can be found. But when urn burials became common later, not as much effort was put in. Instead, stone cists, which first appeared about 4000 years ago and in which the urn was stored, were sufficient. They were covered with an earth mound.

At the Grumfeld-West megalithic tomb, two graves were combined - one chamber 17 m long and the other 12 m long. Due to its impressive size, the rumor persisted for a long time that a king had been buried here. In reality, however, the burial chamber is approx. 5500 years old. The megalithic tomb belongs to the Giersfeld megalithic field. It is not known how many graves the Giersfeld originally comprised, but many of them were destroyed or removed.

The two village ponds are primarily worth visiting for the seating areas (including on the jetty over the pond) and for the playground. The latter is surprisingly well-equipped for such a small village.

Here, opposite the former water police station, the channel is really wide. Possibly even wide enough for ships to turn around.
