King barg
The King Barg ( Low German Köngsbarg ) is a neolithic mound grave west of Bornhöved in Segeberg in Schleswig-Holstein . It is lined with trees and reaches a height of a few meters. Allegedly, the hill is said to have served the Danish King Waldemar II as a general hill during the Battle of Bornhöved in 1227 , from which he directed the battle. In front of the hill, a memorial stone with the inscription July 22, 1227 and a chiseled sword indicates the battle.
