Wittstedt Steingrab submitted by Martin_L on 4th Jul 2012. From the South: Perfectly preserved passage-grave with 4 chamber-capstones and one passage-capstone situated in moorland west of the village Wittstedt.

Wanna Steingrab (11b) submitted by Andreas on 23rd Sep 2009. The reconstructed tomb at Osterwanna:
Due to the threat of sinking into the marshy soil the remains of the tomb were transferred to Wanna. Here the chamber was reconstructed.

The reconstruction shows a "5 yokes-chamber", consisting of 5 capstones, 10 supporting stones at the long sides and 2 further uprights at the narrow sides.

Klecken Langbett submitted by greywether on 9th Jul 2005. This is nice. Surrounded by the almost obligatory trees but allowing in a little more light than usual. The cairn edges are very clear as is the form of the chamber.
