Waldheim Burial Mounds

Highlight • Historical Site

Here are tree-covered mounds, inside which are Bronze Age tombs. If the two signs weren't right next to this special archaeological site, you'd walk past them without paying any attention.

"Fern Oak on the Gänsemarkt This is a rare, accidentally grown variety (mutation) of the native English oak (Ouercus ruhur). Its sinuous, slit leaves are typical. The occurrence of a fern oak was first documented in 1855 in southern Germany and in 1864 in France. It cannot be propagated by seed. Around 1920, a fern oak cutting was grafted onto the English oak at this location. The graft bulge is still visible. However, the origin of the cutting and who carried out the planting can no longer be determined." Source: Information board of the municipality of Neuburg

It's also wonderful on a hot day, as you're walking through a wooded area. A detour to the Seehotel in Nakenstorf is well worth it - whether you need a refreshment on the terrace or just want to enjoy the view from the jetty over the lake. If it's rained a lot, the paths could be very soft in some places - even after a long dry period, these places still exist. If you still have the energy, you should take the peninsula at the end of the path.

It is the narrowest lime tree avenue in Germany, and certainly in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Here, on the so-called Wallberg, a Slavic castle was built in 1219 and expanded into a protective castle in 1230/31. Up to four ramparts surrounded the castle on this 50m high hill. Only the ramparts remain of the castle, which was demolished in the 17th century after it had fallen into disrepair. The whereabouts of the stones are unknown. On the hill is now the so-called Thingplatz, a fairground. See Figure 1 for more details about the castle.
