About 14 000 years ago, the Ice Age hunters found ideal conditions for the reindeer hunt on this high-lying Geest ridge, with a view of the Elbe valley, like here in Rissen. Where those people had pitched camp, refuse and flint tools remained. Amongst the latter are scrapers, as well as arrowheads. They constitute the oldest evidence of hunting with bows and arrows found in this area.
