Oldendorf Langbett 4 submitted by Martin_L on 24th Jan 2012. Pole aerial view of 80m long barrows' north-western part. The barrow was believed to have no chamber, but Prof. van Giffen an his team (who were invited to examinate and excavate this site) discovered the passage grave chamber. It was well preserved except for the capstones.

Oldendorf Steingrab 2 submitted by greywether on 8th Jul 2005. "Steingrab II". I'm not sure what distinguishes a "steingrab" from a "hünenbett" - maybe someone can help. Nice anyway.

Log Text: Several thousand stones were erected here by the National Socialist government. As a result, several previously preserved megalithic graves in the vicinity of Verden were probably destroyed. After its dark past as a National Socialist meeting place, the area now belongs to the Lutheran Church and is used as a local recreation area.

Log Text: This huge boulder probably served as a landmark for the reindeer hunters thousands of years ago. The enormous number of archaeological finds suggests this. The size, when you stand next to it, is amazing.

Log Text: Most of the tumuli are damaged as described in the article and have already been excavated etc.
The hint for the hardly available car parking space is good, as you have to walk for some time before you can enter the forest.
