Werwe Steingrab submitted by madcat on 8th Mar 2008. Badly damaged site in the middle of a corn-field. In the winter it is accessible, but there is not much to see.

Log Text: Unfortunately, it is very overgrown at the moment and can hardly be seen. No direct way to the grave, so you have to cross the field. Best to visit in autumn and winter.

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)

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.

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.

The direction of the grave is about 274°.
