Beech tree by Tempelshoefe, south of Ober-Beberich, Viersen (top picture taken looking from north to south, bottom picture south to north).

This is a prehistoric spot, some say it was a cult centre of the heathen goddess Hele or Heel, a place of ancient ritual and sacrifice. There is no hard evidence for this assertion, but prehistoric artefacts have been discovred in an adjoining field. Additionally, a pre-Roman road or walkway passes close by (just out of frame on the right of the bottom picture).
