Nuuderst Brödihoog is one of the smaller burial mounds on the island of Sylt. It lies north of Wenningstedt-Braderup right on the road Braderuper Weg (K118) to Kampen at a parking lot.

On the opposite side of the street there are more burial mounds on the grounds of the Golf-Club Sylt e. V. (Raisihoog, Lünghoog, Buatskenhoog, ...). Therefore you cannot visit this sites unless you play a round of golf ;-).

Not a must see place, but a parking lot directly beside the burial mound and information boards makes this an easy to visit site.

Nuuderst Brödihoog & Raisihoog

Directly at the parking lot lies the Bronze Age nuuderst (northern) Brödihoog.
» According to legend, a resident is said to have hidden a treasure there. Every night he or his sons wandered to the treasure and guarded it. One night the mound collapsed with his sons. The father then committed suicide and has been known as a Brödihoog ghost ever since. «

In 1844 the mound was searched but no treasure was found. A bronze sword was found as a grave goods. The neighboring süderst (southern) Brödihoog was removed in 1939.

Opposite on the golf course is the Raisihoog from the Bronze Age. It was also partially dismantled in 1939 for the planned airfield construction and restored in 1974. During excavations in 1870 “only” a few stone cists were found. According to legend, the dwarf king Finn lived in the Raisihoog.
