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!).

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.
