Log Text: Due to the pile of stones piled up next to the path, it is not difficult to miss these tumuli. They are not directly on the Daudieck history trail and must be reached separately.

Darpvenne Grab 3 submitted by Martin_L on 16th Apr 2009. Overview from the West (Looking down from a height of 4m). The East-West orientated chamber measures 12,5m x 3m (clear 10,5m x 1,6m). 3 out of probably 8 capstones are completely preserved, but fallen into the chamber like fragments of two other capstones. Except for one orthostat in the NE, all orthostats are preserved, but some are slightly out of place as a result of the destruction activities.

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)

Log Text: My first visit to a Dutch megalithic tomb. It's in the middle of a residential area, which doesn't add to the ambience. However, it is surprisingly well preserved/restored.

D46 Angelslo submitted by Martin_L on 9th Aug 2010. Oblique aerial from the West. When Prof. van Giffen examined this massive 9,5m x 3,5m chamber in the early 20th century the orthostats were still in situ except for N2, but the capstones were scattered around. One capstone is missing and one is only partly preserved (now used as C1). C2 shows tool-marks from historic destruction attempts. Van Giffen assumed the entrance between orthostats S3 and S4. The position is marked "E". No traces left of a possible passage or an enclosure.

D43 Emmen Schimmeres submitted by Sunflowerbird on 7th Mar 2005. Emmen Schimeres is the only 'langgraf' in the Netherlands and feels very much like Wayland's Smithy. It has a complete kerb of massive stones and its chambers are just beginning to show through what is left of its barrow. A monster and a beauty just on the outskirts of Emmen (off the Odoorn Road). Signposted. Opposite the Mazda garage.

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.
