Gentle Giants

On the trail of legends: a Prignitz legend tells of a huge giant who lived a long, long time ago in Lenzen. To test his strength, he once hurled large boulders into the Rambower Lake. When he died, his companions recovered these stones to form a burial chamber and placed the giant inside. Even today, these boulders still rise quietly and proudly out of the soil of the dolmen in Mellen. Encounter the "Gentle Giant" on your bicycle tour and be prepared to be enchanted by this mystical place!
