Log Text: A rather small megalithic tomb, to which there is no direct path. So you have to "fight" your way through the forest.

Log Text: In the middle of the village of Wötz you can find this wonderful long barrow. It cannot be reached from the long barrow in the forest! It is best to stop on the road in Wötz and from there you can reach the site quickly and easily. It was the last megalithic tomb on my tour yesterday that I drove to.

A set of fireworks were placed between the two rings - nice effect.

Log Text: The solar observatory has been reconstructed impressively well. Perhaps not as impressive in terms of monumental dimensions as the ring sanctuary in Pömmelte. But a visit at the winter or summer solstice should definitely be worth the journey.

Heringsberg
Date Added: 9th Nov 2022
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Saxony-Anhalt)
Visited: Yes on 7th Nov 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 4
Heringsberg submitted by Martin_L on 1st Jun 2012. The entrance in the SW. The massive chamber originally was covered by a barrow, 70m diameter and 10m high. The barrow is largely removed, but the chamber still partly embedded into remains of it and largely filled with earth. It is of trapezoidal shape, oriented SW-NE. Length is at least 9m, width over 3m at the NE-part. At least the NE-end orthostat is missing. It is hard or impossible to reach the site during growing season.
