Today I wanted to go back to the bronze-age cairns of Niederlauterbach. Approximately 180 remarkably well preserved grave mounds are scattered throughout the tranquil forest, some of them even older than 3.600 years! Such a peaceful place in which time seems to stand still for a while. If you're around the area some day, make sure to stop by and enjoy a bit of history.

| The first cairn in sight! |

| Some of the cairns are still impressively high! |
 |
| Panoramic view. All those little bumps are graves! |
