Log Text: It is best to visit the 'Siebensteinhäuser' on Lower Saxony / German public holidays. The identity card is to be carried. As the megalithic tombs are located in a restricted military area, visits are only permitted at certain times that can be viewed on the Internet (here, too, there may be deviations!). I made the visit between Christmas and New Year, as there are usually no military maneuvers at this time.
