| The Poppostein near Heiligbek is an extended dolmen. It was originally covered with a mound, according to the display board, there is a chance that stones have already been removed, as the chamber is exposed for a very long time. Of the formerly probably two capstones, only one remains, on which there are 17 bowls. The two long sides each consist of 2 supporting stones. To the north there is a endstone, the southern end is unclear. According to legend, Bishop Poppo is said to have baptized converted pagans here, including the Danish King Harald Blauzahn. There are 6 boundary stones around the site. They have the year and the coat of arms of the then King Frederick VII of Denmark inscribed, who bought the burial mound in 1859. The tomb is located about 10 km north of Schleswig, very close to the L317. Drive north on the L317 from Gammellung / Idestedt towards Flensburg. There are two larger parking spaces on the left and right of the L317 at Heiligbek. Park on the right side and look for the Poppostein at the southern end. From here, a signposted approx. 350 m long path leads to the site, which lies very scenic in the middle of a field. P.S.: The image stabilizer on my camera didn't work properly on this tour, so some of my images are unfortunately out of focus. Sorry for that. P.S.S.: I replaced some of the images, which I shot during a stopover on my trip to Sylt in September 2020. Visited June 2020 |
