The Schiering Forest is known for its megalithic tombs (still mostly designated as dolmens here). Five of these relics of Neolithic settlement culture can be found along the Elbe-Katemin Trail. Just around the corner from this burial site, located right at the edge of the forest, are two more. All the megalithic tombs in the Schiering Forest are impressively large and absolutely worth seeing.

The tower of the church is one of the oldest in the Lüneburg district. An architectural monument of Lower Saxony importance: the tower of the St. Vitus Church in Barskamp. In some places the walls are more than two meters thick. Built stone by stone in the 10th century. The west side was repaired with red brick over the centuries because of falling boulders.
