Lately, I've got this idea of journeying (by bicycle/foot) in the Germanic urheimat (after a few years ofcourse, I'm to young now) and visiting lots of historical places. The main route is:
Emden -> along the Ems -> northeast North Rhine-Westphalia ->
Inland Lower Saxony (except the part west of the Ems) ->
Inland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern -> Usedom & Rügen -> Coastal Mecklenburg-Vorpommern -> Hamburg -> Coastal Lower Saxony ->
Lower Saxon Islands -> Sleswick-Holstein -> Danish Jutland ->
Danish Islands (including Bornholm) -> Copenhagen -> Skane ->
Eastern Swedish shore & islands -> Sundsvall ->
180° turn, into inland Sweden -> Skane -> western Swedish shore ->
southern Norway -> southwestern Norwegian shore -> Steinkjer.
In other words: A very long trip and I will need a lot of money for it.
But also lots of information. So I need your help.
So please post archealogical sites, monuments, heathen places and information about the various tribes inhabitating the area. Especially information about more obscure places/sites/tribes is required. Afterall, the trips needs to be worth it. I will frequently bump this thread when require more info.
I added 4 attachments showing the areas I will visit.
The German map is incorrect, I forget to southern part of Lower Saxony.
