Log Text: I am still flashed by my expiernce to see these rock carvings for real. Little reminder for all: Do not touch the rock carvings and do not step on them. Otherwise, if a lot of people do this, the unique carvings will be destroyed over time.

Log Text: You can now drive freely on the road to the cist. However, the street is quite narrow and local farmers should be given priority for their agricultural traffic. The cist is only a few steps into a small wood.
Mehmke Steingrab 2
Date Added: 27th Feb 2022
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Saxony-Anhalt)
Visited: Yes on 26th Feb 2022. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 4
Mehmke Steingrab 2 submitted by holger_rix on 6th Nov 2009. Chamber with three pairs of uprights on the long sides, rectangle shape 4m x 1.4m.
Five of the eight orthostats remain and three capstones.
But almost all these stones have been moved or are out of place, so the tomb gives the impression of just a pile of big stones.

Midlum Henkenstein submitted by Martin_L on 29th Oct 2007. This is the western end of a chambered tomb. One large capstone and 3 orthostats are still in place so it looks like a dolmen, although it is not. There are significant remains of the barrow.

Log Text: Definite recommendation from me to visit this museum. It is simply impressive both in terms of the type of exhibition and the technical (and flawless) scope. The large number of rune stones drew me here and I ended up in the museum for over 3 hours!
