Point to point
4th stage of the popular long-distance hiking trail Hünenweg.
This day's stage leads to the Ankum Heights, which were formed from Ice Age sand and gravel that a huge glacier pushed in front of it around 200,000 years ago. The area's impressive history is easily recognized by the multitude of granite boulders that form the basis for the megalithic structures along the way.
The further course of the path leads into the Bührener Forest, along other impressive burial sites from the Bronze Age. The Artland Cathedral in Ankum is the destination of this day's stage.
