Gonnenhoog (Round Barrow(s)) — Fieldnotes |
|
At the lighthouse of Kampen lies a group of burial mounds. One of them is the Gonnenhoog, which lies northeast of the lighthouse. The other two groups are the Brönshooger group and the Jüdelhooger group, which are southwest and southeast of the lighthouse. To get to the burial mounds, coming from Wenningstedt on the L52, turn right at the traffic lights in Kampen into the Braderuper Weg. After 180 m, just after you pass the Restaurant Club Rotes Kliff on the left side, turn right into Alte Dorfstraße. After about 100 m turn half left into the Brönshooger Weg. The roads leads directly to the lighthouse of Kampen, however about 300 m before you reach the lighthouse, the road is closed to public traffic. Gonnenhoog lies about 150 m after the road is closed, to the left 75 m in a field. Visited September 2020 |

At the lighthouse of Kampen lies a group of burial mounds. One of them are the Jüdelhooger, which consist of the two mounds Gurt Jüdelhoog and Litj Jüdelhoog (I guess in Frisian "Gurt" means "big/great" and Litj means "little"). The mounds are located southeast of the lighthouse and east of the Brönshooger Weg. On the other side of this roads are the Brönshooger group and northeast the Gonnenhoog. To get to the burial mounds, coming from Wenningstedt on the L52, turn right at the traffic lights in Kampen into the Braderuper Weg. After 180 m, just after you pass the Restaurant Club Rotes Kliff on the left side, turn right into Alte Dorfstraße. After about 100 m turn half left into the Brönshooger Weg. The roads leads directly to the lighthouse of Kampen, however about 300 m before you reach the lighthouse, the road is closed to public traffic, so you have to walk this distance.

taken from the on-site hünen.kulTOUR information board: Burial mounds at the Kampen lighthouse On the highest point of the Sylt Geest around the Kampen lighthouse are some Bronze Age burial mounds. Overview: This map was created by the local researcher C.P. Hansen (1803-1879) in Sölring, the Sylt Frisian. It shows the location of the burial mounds in 1857. Some of the mounds no longer exist today. o Location |

At the lighthouse of Kampen lies a group of burial mounds. One of them are the Brönshooger, which consist of the three mounds Gurt Brönshoog, Litj Brönshoog and Hünshoog (I guess in Frisian "Gurt" means "big/great" and Litj means "little"). The mounds are located southwest of the lighthouse and west of the Brönshooger Weg. On the other side of this roads are the Jüdelhooger group and the Gonnenhoog. To my shame I have to admit that I didn't even realize the largest mound of the group Gurt Bröndshoog at first, because it is overgrown and I focused more on the lighthouse with my photos. Unfortunately, I only noticed my mistake at home. Therefore, the burial mound unfortunately only occupies a small section of the pictures compared to the Lighthouse of Kampen. To get to the burial mounds, coming from Wenningstedt on the L52, turn right at the traffic lights in Kampen into the Braderuper Weg. After 180 m, just after you pass the Restaurant Club Rotes Kliff on the left side, turn right into Alte Dorfstraße. After about 100 m turn half left into the Brönshooger Weg.

taken from the on-site hünen.kulTOUR information board: Gurt Brönshoog The Gurt Brönshoog is the mightiest burial mound on Sylt today (picture below). In the past, the Biike fire of Kampen was lit on the Gurt Jüdelhoog every year. » According to legend, the names of the mounds go back to the battle of the giants, the dwarfs and pukes. The king of the giants Bröns was buried on his golden chariot in Gurt Brönshoog, his son rests in neighboring Litj Brönshoog. Even his dog got a mound, the Hünshoog. In the Teewelkenhoog the personal physician of King Bröns was buried alive by the dwarfs. The kings of the puks Nißchen lies in the Nessenhoog. « |
