Gross Berssen Steingrab 7 submitted by RunaStera on 3rd May 2004. The 7th and last megalithic grave on a nice weather motorcycle-tour on 1st of May. This one was renewed in 1958. It is situated in a 24m long and 20m wide mound. During first systematic excavations in 1956 were found 330 ceramics of baker culture, 22 flint-arrowheads, more stonetools and a flat copper-disc.
This megatlithic grave is in a short distance to the "King's Grave".

Log Text: This reconstructed megalithic tomb shows visitors what the tombs once looked like. Simply wonderful, since many consider the stones - the skeletons of the tumuli as it were - to be the 'normal' appearance of megalithic complexes.

Log Text: Unfortunately, the entire area has probably been weeded and has been severely affected. An information board was probably destroyed in the storm a few weeks ago. I hope that the area will shine again in better splendor in the future.

Klein Stavern Steingrab 5 submitted by Martin_L on 19th Jan 2009. Standing at tombs' eastern end looking towards west. The destruction of this monument fortunately was stopped, but half of the kerbstones are missing. Others have drill-holes to blow them to pieces. Most of the remaining kerbstones are fallen. Possible this is a result of activities to remove them and/or prepare them for blasting (April 2008)

D51 Noordsleen submitted by Martin_L on 5th May 2009. The whole ensemble viewed from the North-East. The chamber is more than halfway filled with earth. The easternmost capstone is still in situ. Only the tops of its uprights are visible. Hopefully the picture shows a bit of the fine ambience of this beautiful site (April 2009)

D50 Noordsleen submitted by Martin_L on 3rd Sep 2010. Pole aerial view from the South-East showing the halfway exposed 17m x 4,35m chamber [1] and the oval enclosure. The covering barrow is largely removed as well as the drywalling.
The position of the lateral entrance is marked "E". The passage is robbed except for one orthostat, but the positions of the 3 missing orthostats are marked with concrete implements.

Go out of Emmen on the Odoorn road into the suburb of Emmermeer and on the side of the road is this wonderful monument. Hundreds of motorists must pass it every day.
