The megalithic tombs are signposted from the B202 road. Approx. 200 metres from the B202 you come to a crossroads. Stay on the Fuhlensee road and continue straight ahead. After 600 metres, the road forks and you turn left. The path leads slightly uphill and after approx. 350 metres a field path on the left leads to the graves on the Rusenberg.
Parking is possible here.

- Long Barrows “Ruserberg” -
Burial sites from the later Stone Age; built around 2700 -8500 BC. Of originally at least nine sites, these three long barrows lying close together with lengths between 30m and 60m have been preserved and are now listed as historical monuments, as is one tomb each north-east and south-west (not marked).
The largest ‘giant bed’ was surrounded by over 100 stones. Two burial chambers are visible in the small site, whose capstones are missing today.
The first peasant population of Schleswig- HoIstein practised agriculture and cattle breeding and built these graves, which belong to the so-called funnel beaker culture. They buried their dead in the stone chambers of the long barrows. The burial objects for the deceased ceramic vessels, amber beads and stone implements were common.
