Cycling

In the floodplains of the dammed up Maas near Alem in Gelderland, a burial mound on De Steeg is hidden between shrubs and trees. Not a prehistoric burial mound, but one that was built in the nineteenth century for the family of Cornelis Schiffer, the founder of Steenfabriek Rossum. Locally, the hill is known as 'Den Berg'.

A tombstone has been badly damaged by grave robbers. When the coffin was carried from the ship to the grave it was considered quite heavy, it must have contained all its gold. However, it turned out that the coffin was covered with lead.
