Log Text: Definitely worth the visit! Warning: It is best to come by during the summer, when it has been dry for a particularly long time - the area in the field where the stone is located is otherwise very swampy and you cannot get to the stone directly with dry feet.

Log Text: Rather small long barrow. The chamber is preserved and the stone setting is still clearly visible next to the tumulus. Heavy clearing work has been carried out here in recent years (due to pine forest dying and storms).

Log Text: Here the stone setting and the former burial chamber are still very well preserved, although the tumulus is badly eroded. More recently, clearing work seems to have been needed after the storms and the dying pine forests. Therefore, the megalithic tomb is more "open air" now.

Burial Chamber with (broken) capstone.
Somebody broke the capstone into two pieces. Obviously the split didn't work out as planned, so the smaller part fall into the chamber and was left there. What a pity !
