Sonnenobservatorium Goseck submitted by Klingon on 21st Dec 2005. Picture from the re-opening at the winter solstice 2005.
A set of fireworks were placed between the two rings - nice effect.

Log Text: The solar observatory has been reconstructed impressively well. Perhaps not as impressive in terms of monumental dimensions as the ring sanctuary in Pömmelte. But a visit at the winter or summer solstice should definitely be worth the journey.

Log Text: I really wanted to see Skagen (simply because it's so far north in Denmark). One automatically encounters these modern dolmens on the way to the beach.

Log Text: The structure of the former ring wall castle can be seen very well in the landscape. Unfortunately there was fog during my visit. However, it was still possible to take good photos, as the facility is simply overwhelmingly large for its time in Denmark.

Log Text: The complex is easily accessible and very well preserved. Unfortunately, the end of the tumulus is missing, so that the feeling of a burial chamber would arise.

Stenvad 50 Kroner Dysse submitted by Martin_L on 8th Apr 2008. The northeastern chamber is quite picturesque.
It is one of Denmarks most famous megalithic tombs: It even was depicted on the 50 kroner-banknote. Some barrow kerbstones are also visible on this picture [April 1992]. Scan from old diapositive, sorry for bad quality.

Log Text: Totally in love with this site as the ambiance is so beautiful. If it hadn't been so windy, I would definitely have stayed longer. The grave is well preserved as a dolmen, although the tumulus can still be seen to some extent.
