Tveebargen
Tveebargen (also Tvebjerge or Danish Danhøjene ) (not to be confused with Danshøj by Sebber Sogn) are two Bronze Age burial mounds in Schleswig-Holstein . They are located a few kilometers south of Schleswig , northwest of the Jagel airfield on the Kograben des Danewerkes . The burial mounds have a diameter of about 35.0 meters and heights of 4.2 and 4.4 meters. They are part of a chain of more than 80 burial mounds that once stood along the Ochsenweg . Four burial mounds west of the Ochsenweg have been preserved. The other two, smaller burial mounds are located a few meters northwest and southeast respectively. The Tweebargen are under monument protection. They can be reached via the Kograben via an access called the zwiebackweg.
According to legend, the legendary Danish King Dan is said to be sitting on his throne in one of the hills , together with his horse, buried in a rock chamber. This explains the Danish name Danhøje. There is also a mound of earth in Eiderstedt about which this legend is told.

Remarks
- ↑ He is considered the first king of the Danes and the one who gave the people his name. However, he is more of a mythological than a historical figure. Dan is mentioned in the Lejre-krøniken, the Ynglingasaga and in Saxo Grammaticus . The latter also refers to two other kings named Dan. The list of Danish legend kings lists Halfdan den Gamle ( Halfdan the Old ), with whom he is said to be identical.
