| Sløsserup Langdysse | Long Barrow | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 24th Jan 2024 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The visit to this megalithic tomb was definitely worth the entire journey! | ||
| Flintinge Megalitgrav | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 24th Jan 2024 | 3 | 3 | 4 | This megalithic grave has a very large capstone, which, together with the very good state of preservation, makes it a really nice photo opportunity! | ||
| Flintinge Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 24th Jan 2024 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Located right next to the road, you can't miss this megalithic tomb. | ||
| Toreby Barneshøj Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 24th Jan 2024 | 3 | 3 | 4 | This megalithic tomb was essentially 'cut open' like a cake. The cross-section through the grave allows a nice view of the interior, even if the grave itself was seriously damaged (but it appears to be being maintained!). | ||
| Sundby Megalitgrav | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 24th Jan 2024 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Right in the center of the town on a small meadow, this megalithic grave has survived modernization. | ||

| Sprove Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 24th Jan 2024 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Right near the larger and better preserved Kong Asgers Høj. Hard to miss. | ||
| Sprove Kong Asgers Høj | Passage Grave | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 24th Jan 2024 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Very well preserved with direct parking at the grave. One of my most beautiful visits during this trip. | ||
| Birket Bavnehøj | Round Barrow(s) | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 23rd Jan 2024 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Bronze Age tumulus located just next to the road. Rather difficult situation to park. Otherwise easily accessible. | ||
| Kong Svends Høj Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 23rd Jan 2024 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Wonderfully preserved and definitely worth the trip. | ||
| Tågerup Stenen | Carving | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 23rd Jan 2024 | 3 | 3 | 4 | This rune stone, like many others, is right next to the local church. However, it is quite easy to find, hidden away on the wall. | ||
| Tillitsestenen | Carving | Denmark | Møn + Lolland-Falster | Visited | 23rd Jan 2024 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Very well preserved rune stone with several sides. Easy to find as, like many others, it is right next to the local church. | ||
| Rillenstein von Tarmstedt | Sculptured Stone | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 3rd Jan 2024 | 4 | 3 | 4 | I was finally able to visit the stone and also take photos. After all this time. | ||
| Alignement de Danthine | Stone Row / Alignment | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | The area appears to still be under restoration - as of: November 5, 2023 (red tape and a warning sign indicate this). | ||
| Menhirs du Champ de la Longue Pierre | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 3 | 3 | 5 | The menhirs are located directly at the dolmen and are so easy to reach. | ||
| Menhirs d'Oppagne | Standing Stones | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | A narrow path leads to this menhir in the middle of the field. You can easily park on the street or take a longer walk. | ||
| Menhir Danthine | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 4 | 2 | 5 | This menhir is right on the street. It's best to park at the dolmen and take a short walk. | ||
| Oppagne Menhirs | Standing Stones | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The menhirs stand right next to the dolmen and round off the overall picture wonderfully. | ||
| Oppagne Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The so-called “soul hole” is clearly visible and gives the place additional charisma. A wonderful place to stay (even in bad weather). | ||
| Wéris Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | There is a parking lot nearby. Easy to access and wonderfully preserved. | ||
| Menhir de Heyd | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Extremely difficult to reach by car (unless you have an SUV). Otherwise, take a longer walk. | ||
| Ozo Menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Belgium | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Menhir is located in the middle of a field and is easy to reach by car (you can see it from afar from the road). | |||
| Cercle Historique | Museum | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Wonderful little museum with tourist information and adjacent cafe. I got further information here for my short tour of Belgium. | ||
| Pierre du Carrefour des Sorcières | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Belgium | Luxembourg | Visited | 6th Nov 2023 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Presumed megalith. The origin of the stone (whether it really is a menhir or not) is not clear. But it looks nice in front of the museum. | ||
| Mehringer Steine 3 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 4th Nov 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The three megalithic tombs are maintained by the local community and make a wonderful impression despite the nearby road. | ||
| Mehringer Steine 2 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 4th Nov 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | The three megalithic tombs are maintained by the local community and make a wonderful impression despite the nearby road. | ||
| Mehringer Steine 1 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 4th Nov 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | The three megalithic tombs are maintained by the local community and make a wonderful impression despite the nearby road. | ||
| Langen Steingrab | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 4th Nov 2023 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Rather difficult to reach and only with precise location identification. A slightly longer walk is necessary. | ||
| Huenensteine Thuine | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 4th Nov 2023 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Due to its shape and size, the gravesite is one of the most beautiful sites I have visited so far. The stone settings are still well preserved. | ||
| Großsteingrab im Alt-Frerener Forst | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 4th Nov 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Beautifully located and in good condition. Easily accessible by a short walk. | ||
| Rökstenen | Carving | Sweden | Östergötland | Visited | 24th Aug 2023 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Because of the size and the length of the written rune text, it is probably the most impressive rune stone I have seen so far. A really detailed information center is just near the stone by the south of the church. | ||
| Källby runstenar | Carving | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 25th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | There are two rune stones in this burial ground. One Pagan and one Christian runestone. | ||
| Sparlösastenen | Carving | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 23rd Aug 2023 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Incredibly beautiful runestone prepared protected by a small building. | ||
| Olsbrostenen | Carving | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 23rd Aug 2023 | 5 | 5 | 5 | A really beautiful rune stone located in a small grove! Well worth the visit and signposted from the town's main street. | ||
| Vårkulma Church Domarring | Stone Circle | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 23rd Aug 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | This stone circle is right on the field next to the church. There is no direct path to it, so you have to cross the field. | ||
| Vårkumlastenen | Carving | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 23rd Aug 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | As is often the case with Swedish rune stones, this one stands right next to the local church. Impossible to miss! | ||
| Skånumstenen | Carving | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 23rd Aug 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Easily accessible runestone in a farmer's field. Nettles are the biggest problem in this case. | ||
| Levenestenen | Carving | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 23rd Aug 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Just outside the local church, this runestone is hard to miss (it's huge!) | ||
| Slädenestenen | Carving | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 23rd Aug 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | This runestone stands somewhat inconspicuously in the parking lot of the local church. | ||
| Hoga Domarringar | Stone Circle | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 22nd Aug 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The stone circle is (as you can see in my pictures) in the middle of a cattle meadow and is therefore not always easily accessible. But otherwise a nice place on the way up from the runestone. | ||
| Hoga Runestone | Carving | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 22nd Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | The runestone is well signposted, there is a car park and many information boards! | ||
| Animskog Hällkista | Cist | Sweden | Dalsland | Visited | 22nd Aug 2023 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Beautifully preserved stone cist nestled in the middle of a forest. The path is quite hidden and more of a small path. By car you drive more on bumpy slopes than roads. | ||
| Högsbyn hällristningar | Rock Art | Sweden | Dalsland | Visited | 22nd Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The rock carvings have been well preserved here and with the wonderful landscape in the background as a panorama, the visit is really an experience. However, the route to the carvings is a bit hidden and only signposted for the last few meters. However, a parking lot is available. | ||
| Hindalebyn | Stone Circle | Sweden | Dalsland | Visited | 22nd Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Rather small stone circle, next to which is a burial ground from Bronze and Iron Age. | ||
| Åbrott | Stone Circle | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Well-preserved stone circle, which probably often attracts visitors for offerings (see photo). | ||
| Gerum Rune Rock | Rock Art | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 2 | Not painted, but surprisingly well preserved! Definitely worth the effort to walk across the field! | ||
| Lövåsen Hällristningar | Rock Art | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 3 | Here the newly applied red paint is now very faded. But the big ship still catches the eye! | ||
| Balken | Rock Art | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Unfortunately, the carvings here are very difficult to see or photograph. Still worth the short walk. | ||
| Fossum (Tanum) | Carving | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Fossum's rock carvings impressed me the most personally. In addition, they are even already visible if you drive along the route by car. A 'Modern Age meets Bronze Age' moment. | ||
| Ulmekärr Labyrinth | Turf Maze | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Beautiful (possibly prehistoric) maze. | ||
| Greby | Barrow Cemetery | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Beautifully preserved burial ground. Scottish warriors are probably buried here! | ||
| Litsleby | Carving | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The large spear-carrying figure in the middle of the carvings impresses and immediately catches the eye. | ||
| Tanum 72:1 Tegneby | Rock Art | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 5 | 5 | 4 | In this case, repainted in white, these are probably the youngest rock carvings that have been found in Tanumshede (they probably date back to the Iron Age). | ||
| Aspeberget RAÄ nr 26:1 | Rock Art | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Here, too, the carvings are difficult to see, although the large animal design is a real eye-catcher. | ||
| Tanum 28:1 Aspeberget | Rock Art | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | The carvings are difficult to see at this point. Luckily there is a sign pointing it out. | ||
| Tanum 25:1 Aspeberget | Rock Art | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Here the many carvings shine again in repainted red color. Just wonderful! | ||
| Tanum 18:1 Aspeberget | Rock Art | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Here the rock carvings were not traced in red, but they are still clearly visible (which is sometimes surprising after all the thousands) | ||
| Aspeberget | Carving | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | The sheer number of rock carvings is overwhelming in this case. I was a bit wondering if there were more such carvings hidden under the ground. | ||
| Tanum 6:1 Vitlycke | Rock Art | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 3 | More rock carvings. You can stay in this place for a very long time and you will always find new details to think about. | ||
| Tanum 9:1 Vitlycke | Rock Art | Sweden | Västergötland | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 3 | Follow the signs up the hill and you will see more rock carvings. The information boards will definitely be maintained! | ||
| Tanums Hällristningar | Carving | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Places like this, where you can still see what people did and sometimes thought and lived 3000 years ago, are always something special and sometimes make you stop in awe and think about your own existence. The rock carvings are definitely such a place! | ||
| Vitlycke Rösen | Round Cairn | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 3 | The ascent is a bit difficult and a bit dangerous in wet weather. The effort for someone like me, who comes 'from the flat country of Lower Saxony', is a small challenge (with a smile!) | ||
| Vitlycke gravfelt | Barrow Cemetery | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The burial ground next to the museum is often only secondarily noticed by visitors, if at all. There are some tumuli hidden in the forest. | ||
| Vitlycke Museum | Museum | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Although the museum is rather small, it is still a nice starting point to start your tour of the rock carvings. The built Bronze Age village is a real highlight! | ||
| Björnemyren Hällkista | Cist | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 3 | 5 | 3 | After a somewhat longer walk you reach this wonderfully preserved stone cist. There are hiking routes and information boards on the way to the stone cist at the nearby parking lot. | ||
| Säm Gånggrift | Passage Grave | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 21st Aug 2023 | 2 | 3 | 4 | The passage grave can only be recognized in outline. Still a very nice facility. In the immediate vicinity you can also find other Rösen. | ||
| Kallebystenen | Carving | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Wonderful and mysterious rune stone. Stands just off the road and easily accessible from a nearby car park. | ||
| Massleberg Hällristning | Carving | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 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. | ||
| Jörlov Hällristningar | Rock Art | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Just beautiful rock carvings from the Bronze Age. There is parking just off the road, but it's best to rely on your GPS (road is pretty bad). | ||
| Massleberg - Skee 622:1 | Rock Art | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Not as well prepared as the neighboring rock carvings, but still worth the visit. | ||
| Massleberg Passage Grave | Passage Grave | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Nice dolmen that is right next to the road. | ||
| Massleberg Gravfält | Barrow Cemetery | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Right next to the passage grave and the rock carvings, these tumuli are hard to miss. | ||
| Blomsholm Skeppsättning | Standing Stones | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 5 | 4 | 4 | It's impressive to be in a place like this. Even in bad weather! In addition, the facility is easy to reach and there is ample parking for visitors. You also meet really interested people here! | ||
| Blomsholm standing stones | Standing Stones | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Clearly visible before reaching the stone circle. Both stones probably served either as "gates" or as tombstones / Bautastein. | ||
| Blomsholm stone circle | Stone Circle | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | After visiting the stone ship, the stone circle is a real must-see, even if you have to walk a bit. | ||
| Grönehøg Gravfält | Barrow Cemetery | Sweden | Bohuslän | Visited | 20th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Well preserved tumuli. Easy to get to as there is a car park across the street. | ||
| Spellemannshaugen | Round Barrow(s) | Norway | Vestfold | Visited | 18th Aug 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Luckily managed to get to the tumulus during the Midgardsblot festival as the farmer had just harvested the field. Stands apart from the larger burial ground and is also of considerable size. | ||
| Borrehaugene | Barrow Cemetery | Norway | Vestfold | Visited | 17th Aug 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Great burial ground with very large tumuli from the Iron Age to the Viking Age. I definitely recommend a visit to everyone. | ||
| Oseberg mound | Round Barrow(s) | Norway | Vestfold | Visited | 14th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Today, a small exploratory path with many information boards on the tumulus and its history and excavation of the ship leads to the Oseberghaugen. | ||
| Gokstadhaugen | Round Barrow(s) | Norway | Visited | 14th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | The tumulus is really gigantic and in its symmetrical form one of the most beautiful I have seen so far. | |||
| Galteland Runestone and Verksmoen Barrow Cemetery | Carving | Norway | Aust-Agder | Visited | 13th Aug 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Beautiful replica of the original was built on the original site. Behind is a large tumulus. | ||
| Tangvall cist | Cist | Norway | Vest-Agder | Visited | 13th Aug 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Beautifully restored stone cist. However, an explanatory panel is definitely missing in this case. But otherwise wonderful. | ||
| Søgne Runestone | Carving | Norway | Vest-Agder | Visited | 13th Aug 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | My first runestone I saw in Norway. The ambience around it is also worth the visit! | ||
| Tornby Runddysse | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Nordjylland | Visited | 12th Aug 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Picturesque and simply magically beautiful, this dolmen is also the most northerly in Denmark. Parking is available near the grave and it is well signposted. | ||
| Sønderholm Troldkirken Langdysse | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Nordjylland | Visited | 12th Aug 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Definitely one of the most beautiful megalithic tombs I have visited so far. Definitely worth the trip and easy to navigate too. | ||
| Stenstuen Mjels | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Nordjylland | Visited | 12th Aug 2023 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Quite overgrown by now, but still clearly recognizable. | ||
| Wodanstein in Lanzenhagen | Rock Art | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 30th Jul 2023 | 5 | 4 | 4 | I was particularly surprised that the information plate is in such good condition and showed no signs of vandalism or natural decay. The place is better to reach after rain only in rubber boots (no direct way, but you can see the information board from the street). | ||
| Düwelsteene | Chambered Tomb | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 30th Jul 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | I was finally able to visit this site. It is beautifully arranged and was a real magical experience to visit! | ||
| Sachsenhof Greven-Pentrup | Museum | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 30th Jul 2023 | 5 | 5 | 5 | It has no opening hours, but is open to the public at all times, provided that the given rules are followed. Nice gem! | ||
| Hexenküche | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 30th Jul 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Wonderful natural rock formations about which there are many local legends related to witches. | ||
| Steinhuegelgrab Wechte | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 30th Jul 2023 | 3 | 2 | 5 | Unfortunately, it is now overgrown. This place+the information board would urgently need some maintenance. | ||
| Hünengrab Wechte (1) | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 30th Jul 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Beautifully preserved grave that still exists despite the nearby residential area. | ||
| Restruper Näpfchenstein | Rock Art | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jul 2023 | 3 | 3 | 5 | This converted cup-mark stone is in really good condition and is right next to a farm entrance. | ||
| Restruper Großsteingrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jul 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Wonderful megalithic tomb, albeit somewhat sunken into the ground. | ||
| Großsteingrab Dalum | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jul 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Despite the moderately good road, it is still easily accessible by car. | ||
| Hekese Grabhügelfeld | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jul 2023 | 2 | 3 | 4 | This burial ground is located just across the street from the megalithic tombs. | ||
| Hekese Steinsetzung | Stone Row / Alignment | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jul 2023 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Due to the row of stones, which is rather rare in Germany, both large megalithic tombs are really something special! Absolute visit recommendation! | ||
| Hekese Grab B | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jul 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Both megalithic tombs are really wonderfully well preserved except for the missing tumulus. | ||
| Hekese Grab A | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jul 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Located directly on the road, these two megalithic tombs and the remaining row of stones are really easy to reach. | ||
| Opferstein von Melzingen | Sculptured Stone | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 3rd Jun 2023 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Definitely worth the visit! Warning: It is best to come by during the summer, when it has been dry for a particularly long time - the area in the field where the stone is located is otherwise very swampy and you cannot get to the stone directly with dry feet. | ||
| Boltersen Uhlenberg Langbett | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 3rd Jun 2023 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Despite its destruction, the long barrow stands out from its surroundings and forms the virtual center of the younger burial ground. | ||
| Buckelgräberfeld von Boltersen | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 3rd Jun 2023 | 2 | 4 | 5 | Wonderful area with heather plants on the small graves. | ||
| Kussow Steingrab | Modern Stone Circle etc | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | A replica of a passage grave in the open-air museum in Kussow. Located almost in the middle of the area | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Teufelsbackofen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 5 | 5 | 4 | This megalithic grave is one of my favorites now! Not particularly huge in shape and structure, but incredibly beautiful to look at! The cups marks on the cap stone are another highlight! | ||
| Blankensee Huenengrab | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Meanwhile heavily overgrown (the place urgently needs maintenance!) | ||
| Kussow Steinzeitdorf | Museum | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Wonderful little open air museum. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Sued (1) | Long Barrow | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Long barrow in very good condition! | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Sued (4) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | One of the megalithic highlights of today's tour! Definite visit recommendation! The tomb is fantastically preserved! | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Sued (5) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Heavily disturbed megalithic grave in the forest (not signposted and without a direct way - but clearly visible from the wayside!). | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Sued (3) | Long Barrow | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Rather small long barrow. The chamber is preserved and the stone setting is still clearly visible next to the tumulus. Heavy clearing work has been carried out here in recent years (due to pine forest dying and storms). | ||
| Hamberge Schalenstein | Rock Art | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 3 | 3 | 5 | The cup marks are very clear and easy to see on this repurposed stone. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (10) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Also heavily disturbed megalithic tomb, although the chamber can be seen even better. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (9) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Heavily destroyed megalithic tomb of rather small size. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (7) | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Badly damaged megalithic tomb and rather small. Still nice to find it next to all the others here in the area. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (6) | Long Barrow | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Here the stone setting and the former burial chamber are still very well preserved, although the tumulus is badly eroded. More recently, clearing work seems to have been needed after the storms and the dying pine forests. Therefore, the megalithic tomb is more "open air" now. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (5) | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Heavily disturbed and destroyed megalithic tomb. However, which is very nice, it is still clearly visible and the former chamber can still be made out. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (8) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 4 | 4 | 4 | Also a wonderfully well-preserved small dolmen. | |||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (4) | Long Barrow | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 2 | 4 | 4 | The stones can hardly be made out in the forest, but they are visible and easier to spot because of the tumulus that is still there. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (3) | Long Barrow | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The stone setting is wonderfully preserved. The tumulus, however, as good as hardly. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (2) | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Small preserved dolmen. I was surprised and delighted that even the capstone is still so wonderfully intact. | ||
| Everstorfer Forst Nord (1) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | Visited | 29th May 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Clearly destroyed, however the stones and parts of the tumulus are still present and clearly visible. | ||
| Viking Museum Haithabu | Museum | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 30th Apr 2023 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Wonderful museum! The wealth of finds on display is truly spectacular (although some finds may seem less spectacular to some visitors). | ||
| Wikingerdorf Haithabu | Ancient Village or Settlement | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 30th Apr 2023 | 5 | 4 | 3 | Finally I had time to visit this place longer and in detail after my visit last year. A really well prepared place for all those interested in history and Viking fans. | ||
| Krumme Schneider | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Apr 2023 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Located right in the village (even the street was named after the stone) so it's hard to miss. Two very detailed information boards provide information about the history of the stone. | ||
| Flemløse-stenen 1 | Carving | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Three beautifully situated runestones in a landscaped castle park. Invites you to a nice walk. | ||
| Nationalmuseet (National Museum) | Museum | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 25th Mar 2023 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Wonderful, just wonderful. Especially if you are there early in the morning and the museum is not that full for the first two hours. | ||
| Weddingstedt Steenoben | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 27th Mar 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Easily accessible by a short walk through the woods or along the road. | ||
| Mildstedt Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 27th Mar 2023 | 4 | 3 | 5 | Well suited for starting on the way back from Denmark. Located directly on one of the main traffic routes and is almost directly visible from the parking lot. | ||
| Skarrev Myrpold Runddysse | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 27th Mar 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The road conditions to the megalithic grave are not exactly the best. So you should maybe take a slightly longer hike into account. | ||
| Ales stenar | Stone Circle | Sweden | Skåne | Visited | 26th Mar 2023 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Absolutely impressive. There is not much more to say about this site. The location by the sea, the size, everything gives the impression of a mystical place. | ||
| Simris Rock Carving Panel | Rock Art | Sweden | Skåne | Visited | 26th Mar 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Due to its location directly on the sea, this place has almost mystical features. Visit: Recommended! | ||
| Järrestad | Rock Art | Sweden | Skåne | Visited | 26th Mar 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | These Bronze Age rock carvings are really extraordinary and were so worth the visit! | ||
| Simris Runstenar | Carving | Sweden | Skåne | Visited | 26th Mar 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Two beautiful rune stones that stand right next to the local church. Hard to miss! | ||
| Totaskulle | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Sweden | Skåne | Visited | 26th Mar 2023 | 3 | 3 | 5 | It is right next to the road and can therefore be easily reached as long as the field is not planted. | ||
| Stenhed | Stone Circle | Sweden | Skåne | Visited | 26th Mar 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Really wonderfully preserved ship setting! Breathtaking! | ||
| Børnehøj Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Easily accessible on foot and beautifully restored to provide a glimpse inside a megalithic tumulus. | ||
| Havrevænge Dysse | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Sjælland | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 3 | 2 | 5 | It's right off the road so it shouldn't be a problem to find. A really beautiful dolmen in my opinion, even if the ambience around it is rather desolate. | ||
| Lejregård | Ancient Village or Settlement | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 2 | 3 | 4 | The former house outlines can still be seen here very well after the reconstruction. | ||
| Ravnehøj | Round Barrow(s) | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Can be driven directly by car and is therefore not only accessible on foot. | ||
| Lejre Hyldehøj | Round Barrow(s) | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Located north of the ship settlement and is quite impressive due to its sheer size. | ||
| Grydehøi (Lejre) | Round Barrow(s) | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Located just behind the ship setting, so the tumulus is hard to miss. | ||
| Gammel Lejre Skibssætning | Stone Circle | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Really impressive, although the ship setting is not complete and there are better preserved ones. | ||
| Vikingeskibsmuseet | Museum | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 24th Mar 2023 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Note from me: The completion of a new building is currently planned for the year 2030. The museum may be open to the public for another 1-2 years before the new building begins. So if you don't want to wait, you should plan your visit now or wait for the reopening (which should be more impressive). | ||
| Kallerupstenen | Carving | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Located just behind the church making it easy to find and visit. | ||
| Øm Jættestue 1 | Passage Grave | Denmark | Hovedstaden | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Impressive megalithic tomb, which hopefully will soon be open to the public again. | ||
| Fjenneslev-stenen | Carving | Denmark | Sjælland | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Impressively well preserved rune stone. Was definitely worth the visit. Located right in front of the church door and hard to miss. | ||
| Sandby Runesten | Carving | Denmark | Sjælland | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Small but fine rune stone, which is located just behind the church. | ||
| Sigersted Runddysse 2 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Sjælland | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Was within sight of the No. 1 and is also easy to reach if the field is not planted. | ||
| Sigersted Runddysse 1 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Sjælland | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Drive past it almost by accident and stopped right away to take a look at the place. Can be easily reached if the field is not planted. | ||
| Vikingeborgen Trelleborg | Hillfort | Denmark | Sjælland | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 3 | 5 | 5 | The fortress was definitely worth the visit! A little tip from me: the site is open out of season (even if the museum is closed). A walk is possible without large crowds of visitors. I pretty much owned the fortress all by myself (only two other visitors next to me). | ||
| Slagelse Kongedyssen | Long Barrow | Denmark | Sjælland | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Very nicely located place with excellent views. The megalithic grave is therefore really excellent for a break after a long drive. | ||
| Sulkendrup Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Fyn, Langeland and Islands | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Indescribably beautiful! However, only smaller people (or less sturdily built people than me) fit through the opening to get inside. So don't be disappointed! :) | ||
| Glavendrup | Carving | Denmark | Fyn, Langeland and Islands | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Very nice ambience and the large rune stone written on three sides, really convince in their effect on the viewer! | ||
| Torshøj (Skamby) | Round Barrow(s) | Denmark | Fyn, Langeland and Islands | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Right next to the road and therefore hard to miss. In impressively good condition and of a stately size. | ||
| Skamby Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Fyn, Langeland and Islands | Visited | 23rd Mar 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Nicely located and easy to reach if you follow the directions. | ||
| D25 Bronneger | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The tomb is the most impressive of the 3 in this area. Beautiful preserved! | ||
| D49 Schoonoord | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | At the end of my trip to the Netherlands today, this megalithic grave was an absolute highlight! | ||
| De Gewichtheffer | Modern Stone Circle etc | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Modern 'dolmen' along the way. Hard to miss when visiting the prehistoric megalithic graves in this area. | ||
| Grafheuvels Bronneger | Round Barrow(s) | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Two tumuli near the megalithic tombs. Wonderfully preserved and maintained (no major overgrowths etc.). | ||
| D24 Bronneger | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Like D23 already very disturbed, but still an eye-catcher! | ||
| D23 Bronneger | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Heavily disturbed, but the remains are beautiful in its own way. | ||
| D22 Bronneger | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Although D22 is smaller than its neighbor D21, this megalithic grave has some cups. | ||
| D21 Bronneger | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 4 | 4 | 4 | D21 is the larger of the two adjacent graves 21 and 22. After a short walk you can reach both fairly comfortably via a field or bicycle path. | ||
| D27 Borger | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The largest 'hunebed' in the Netherlands was definitely worth a visit. Extremely large megaliths that are otherwise rarely seen in combination with a grave. | ||
| Hunebedcentrum | Museum | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 5 | 5 | 5 | In my opinion, this museum is an absolute must-see for every megalith fan. Also very suitable for children and school classes! | ||
| Borger Round Barrow | Round Barrow(s) | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Just off the road, you can't miss this amazingly well-preserved tumulus! | ||
| D20 Drouwen | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Just near the other passages graves. Both are excellently preserved (except for the missing tumulus). | ||
| D19 Drouwen | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Two wonderful passage graves again! The Drenthe region was really worth the trip! | ||
| D29 Borger | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | This dolmen is just in the near of the other number 28 dolmen. Easily accessible by car and kept in wonderful condition. These two dolmens were definitely worth the visit. | ||
| D28 Borger | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Easily accessible by car and kept in wonderful condition. These two dolmens were definitely worth the visit. | ||
| Loeningen Huenensteine | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 21st Jan 2023 | 3 | 2 | 5 | Today a visit was finally possible on the way back from the Netherlands. It's right in town and hard to miss. But the atmosphere is rather well. | ||
| Helms Museum Harburg | Museum | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 7th Jan 2023 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Wonderful museum - the parking facilities are a nightmare though. It's best to use a parking garage. The collection is well sorted for this. Unfortunately, a nicer ambience is somehow missing in some places. Otherwise I was completely satisfied with my visit! | ||
| Horneburg Langbett 3 | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 25th Dec 2022 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Right next to the better preserved Megalithic Tomb No. 4 are the remains of this tomb. The tumulus is still clearly visible and also some remains of the burial chamber. | ||
| Kakerbeck Steingrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 14th Mar 2021 | 1 | 3 | 5 | The condition of this stone grave can be seen as completely destroyed. There are no visible signs that it once existed here. Perhaps archological traces can still be made visible with an excavation. But the visible part is definitely destroyed. | ||
| Kleiner Karlstein | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 2 | 3 | 4 | The little Karlsteine are by far not as imposing as their bigger brothers. However, it is always nice when you can still find/see the remains of megalithic tombs yourself. | ||
| Slopsteine | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 5 | 3 | A bit hidden in the forest. A really impressive sight! | ||
| Dübberort Tumulus | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | All in all, two larger tumuli can be identified here after my sighting. | ||
| Dübberort Grab 1 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 4 | 3 | 3 | Located directly on a field. Therefore, it is best to visit during autumn and winter. Heavily overgrown. | ||
| Dübberort Grab 2 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The megalithic grave shows large traces of destruction. That there are still so many megaliths is really gratifying. | ||
| Jeggen Grosssteingrab | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Large megalithic tomb with many stones still present. Very stunning and easy to access by car. | ||
| Teufelssteine Osnabrück | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 2 | 4 | Easy to reach via a small path. Lots of parking space. However, it is in the middle of an industrial area. So not a particularly good atmosphere. | ||
| Gretescher Steine | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Easy to get to on top of a hill. Pay attention to the slope when taking photos! | ||
| Sundermannsteine | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 2 | 5 | Located right next to the road, it is easy to pass the megalithic tomb. However, there is no direct route to it and parking is somewhat limited. | ||
| Grosse Sloopsteine | Chambered Tomb | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Really big and in good condition. The forest makes this megalithic tomb a really beautiful destination! | ||
| Kleine Sloopsteine | Chambered Tomb | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 2 | 4 | Located directly in town. There is a parking lot to the north of the complex, which can be used to easily find the megalithic tomb. | ||
| Oestringer Steine 2 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Same as grave no. 1 right next to the street and easy to find. | ||
| Oestringer Steine 1 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Located right next to the street so you can't miss it. | ||
| Großer Karlstein | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 10th Dec 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The forest was extensively removed around the grave. The big Karlsteine are really impressive! | ||
| Bronzezeitliche Grabhügelgruppe Liebenau | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 27th Nov 2022 | 2 | 2 | 4 | Unfortunately extremely overgrown. However, there is a very good information sign nearby so that the tumuli can still be discovered in the forest despite their low height. | ||
| Kreismuseum Syke | Museum | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 13th Nov 2022 | 5 | 4 | 5 | A museum that displays a large number of artefacts from both the prehistoric and the early and late times of our modern times (especially for the northern German region). Highly recommended for both adults and children! The heart of the prehistoric collection is the "Forum Gesseler Goldhort". | ||
| Steinerne Hütte | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 7th Nov 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | A small footpath leads up the hill to the megalithic tomb. Easy to find. The tomb is in pretty good condition. | ||
| Bierberg Gerbitz | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 7th Nov 2022 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Located right next to the road, this megalithic tomb can be visited quickly and easily. Luckily there are small parking bays nearby. | ||
| Heringsberg | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 7th Nov 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Surrounded by three trees, this megalithic tomb is a real eye-catcher! | ||
| Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte | Museum | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 6th Nov 2022 | 5 | 3 | 5 | A truly unique museum. In addition to the Nebra Sky Disc (which is of course the main attraction of the museum), it offers an excellent and, above all, rich in finds tour through prehistory. | ||
| Dolmengöttin Langeneichstädt | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 6th Nov 2022 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The original of the menhir with the carving is in the Prehistoric State Museum in Halle (Saale). It was used as the capstone of the tomb. A replica can also be found next to the tomb today. | ||
| Menhir von Brachstedt | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 6th Nov 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | The menhir stands directly on a tumulus. You have to cross a meadow to reach it. | ||
| Sonnenobservatorium Goseck | Henge | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 5th Nov 2022 | 5 | 4 | 5 | The solar observatory has been reconstructed impressively well. Perhaps not as impressive in terms of monumental dimensions as the ring sanctuary in Pömmelte. But a visit at the winter or summer solstice should definitely be worth the journey. | ||
| Heidenberg Schortewitz | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 5th Nov 2022 | 3 | 2 | 4 | Partially repaired in a makeshift manner, this grave is located right next to a house. | ||
| Hoher Berg Wulfen | Passage Grave | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 5th Nov 2022 | 4 | 2 | 5 | Located right in town, it's really a miracle that the tomb still exists. | ||
| Teufelskeller Drosa | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 5th Nov 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Very beautiful! The shape of the dolmen is simply breathtaking, which is where the very meaningful legend name should come from. | ||
| Koerbelitz Steingrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 5th Nov 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Small burial chamber that has been preserved on a hill. Small parking lot at the bottom of the hill and then walk the last few meters. | ||
| Gehrden Langbett | Long Barrow | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 5th Nov 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The long barrow is "sandwiched" between two fields. But it is still surprisingly recognizable. | ||
| Pömmelte Kultstätte | Timber Circle | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | Visited | 5th Nov 2022 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Unfortunately, the visitor center is not yet open (although still under construction). The ansient site is really extremely impressive and captivated me for a long time. | ||
| Schloss Gottorf | Museum | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 27th Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Amazing museum. However, you should still visit it until 2025, as extensive renovation work (?!) is planned. | ||
| Missunde Ganggrab | Passage Grave | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 27th Sep 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Easy to get to, albeit with a lack of parking. | ||
| Starup Runesten | Carving | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 27th Sep 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Beautiful rune stone. Like so many rune stones in Denmark in front of the church, it can hardly be missed as soon as you enter the site. | ||
| Jelling Skibssætning | Stone Circle | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 26th Sep 2022 | 1 | 4 | 4 | Unfortunately no longer recognizable today. However, the outlines in the area were traced by plates. | ||
| Kongernes Jelling Museum | Museum | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 26th Sep 2022 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Wonderful little museum on this UNESCO World Heritage Site. | ||
| Jelling Runesten | Carving | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 26th Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 4 | The rune stones are now protected from the weather by glass cases. The carvings are a bit faded, but still very visible! | ||
| Jelling Rundhøj 1 | Round Barrow(s) | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 26th Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Also extremely impressive like the southern tumulus. The fact that you can climb both by well laid out stairs is an absolute "must done before leave". | ||
| Jelling Rundhøj 2 | Round Barrow(s) | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 26th Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Simply one of the biggest tumului I've ever seen so far. Extremely impressive. | ||
| Lindholm Hoje | Stone Circle | Denmark | Nordjylland | Visited | 25th Sep 2022 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Just gigantic and an absolute 'must see' if you are a megalithic fan in Denmark. | ||
| Lindholm Høje Museet | Museum | Denmark | Nordjylland | Visited | 25th Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Wonderful museum, which took me longer than I thought (went to the museum first before going up the hill to the ancient site Lindholm Høje). | ||
| Lindholm Høje Entrance | Modern Stone Circle etc | Denmark | Visited | 25th Sep 2022 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Nice modern monument at the entrance to the museum and the ancient site Lindholm Høje. | |||
| Drachmanns Grav | Modern Stone Circle etc | Denmark | Visited | 25th Sep 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | I really wanted to see Skagen (simply because it's so far north in Denmark). One automatically encounters these modern dolmens on the way to the beach. | |||
| Fyrkat Vikingeborg | Hillfort | Denmark | Nordjylland | Visited | 25th Sep 2022 | 2 | 4 | 4 | The structure of the former ring wall castle can be seen very well in the landscape. Unfortunately there was fog during my visit. However, it was still possible to take good photos, as the facility is simply overwhelmingly large for its time in Denmark. | ||
| Voldstedlund Kongehøj Langdysse | Long Barrow | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Absolutely overwhelming in its size and a nice end to my day tour. Made a little picnic here for myself before heading back to the accommodation. The long barrow is simply gigantic compared to German megalithic tombs. | ||
| Museum of Culture and History, Randers | Museum | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Admission to the museum is free and, in addition to a large selection of finds from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age, it also offers four rune stones on display. | ||
| Knebel Poskær Stenhus | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Definitely one of the most beautiful megalithicsites of Denmark. | ||
| Ildbjerg Langdysse | Long Barrow | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Very well preserved. However, this can only be achieved if the field is not currently being planted. Otherwise a really impressively well-preserved long barrow. | ||
| Ildbjerg Langdysse | Long Barrow | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Very well preserved. However, this can only be achieved if the field is not currently being planted. Otherwise a really impressively well-preserved long barrow. | ||
| Mårup Runddysse 2 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 2 | 2 | 5 | Also like number 1 completely overgrown. However, not quite as strong. However, it also needs care! | ||
| Mårup Mejdkirke Runddysse | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 4 | 2 | 5 | Completely overgrown. Needs urgent care! | ||
| Tøstrup Runddysse 1 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | I drove here more by accident and visited the site. | ||
| Stenvad 50 Kroner Dysse | Long Barrow | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Totally in love with this site as the ambiance is so beautiful. If it hadn't been so windy, I would definitely have stayed longer. The grave is well preserved as a dolmen, although the tumulus can still be seen to some extent. | ||
| Tustrup Runddysse | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Very well preserved and somehow reminds me of the megalithic grave in my home town of Steinfeld due to its structure and shape. | ||
| Tustrup Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The complex is easily accessible and very well preserved. Unfortunately, the end of the tumulus is missing, so that the feeling of a burial chamber would arise. | ||
| Tustrup Dyssekammer | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 24th Sep 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The chamber is still recognizable, but badly disturbed. | ||
| Museum Silkeborg | Museum | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 23rd Sep 2022 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Wonderful museum that houses Denmark's most famous bog body: Tollund Man. Absolute visit recommendation! There is also a small prehistoric exhibition that has nothing to do with the bog body. | ||
| Moesgard Museum | Museum | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 23rd Sep 2022 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 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! | ||
| Skovmøllen Langdysse | Long Barrow | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 23rd Sep 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Long barrow in very good condition. Even the stone settings are still mostly intact. In addition, easy to find and reach! | ||
| Fulden Skelhøj | Round Barrow(s) | Denmark | Midtjylland | Visited | 23rd Sep 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Small tumulus on which a bulging apple tree grows! Was almost on the way and I thought to myself, I'll visit him. | ||
| Rugballe Grønhøj Jættestue | Passage Grave | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 22nd Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Wonderfully preserved megalithic tomb! I almost freaked out with joy when I was there! | ||
| Bække Skibssætning | Stone Circle | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 22nd Sep 2022 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Unfortunately, the rune stone shows strong signs of weathering. Otherwise the place is really impressive! | ||
| Bække kirke Runesten | Carving | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 22nd Sep 2022 | 5 | 3 | 5 | This rune stone (like so many in Denmark) stands directly in front of the local church and is hard to miss. You can park right in front of him. | ||
| Læborg Runesten | Carving | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 22nd Sep 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The rune stone is right in front of the church. Parking is a bit limited so you have to walk a few meters. But otherwise an enormously impressive rune stone! | ||
| Museet på Sønderskov | Museum | Denmark | Syddanmark | Visited | 22nd Sep 2022 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Small privately funded museum, with a wonderful (albeit small) prehistoric exhibition. The rune stone really got me excited! | ||
| Wanna Steingrab (15) | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 4th Sep 2022 | 4 | 3 | 3 | Also like No. 13, it is easier to reach during a longer dry period. Located in the middle of the meadow and you have to overcome a drainage ditch. | ||
| Wanna Steingrab (13) | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 4th Sep 2022 | 4 | 3 | 3 | It is best to visit this megalithic tomb during a long dry season like this, as it is easiest to access it through the meadows. | ||
| Wanna Steingrab (17) | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Sep 2022 | 4 | 3 | 3 | Wonderfully preserved, but unfortunately rather unsuitable for the public, since it was covered with earth again after the excavation for protection. | ||
| Wanna Steingrab (16) | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Sep 2022 | 4 | 3 | 3 | Located in the middle of a cattle meadow and unfortunately there is not much to see as the megalithic tomb in the former bog has been covered with earth again. | ||
| Altenmedingen Langbett 1 | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 29th Aug 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Three preserved long barrows. Grave number 2 is still in the best state of preservation. In the case of grave number 1, however, the mound can still be clearly seen. | ||
| Altenmedingen Langbett 2 | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 29th Aug 2022 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Three preserved long barrows. Grave number 2 is still in the best state of preservation. In the case of grave number 1, however, the mound can still be clearly seen. | ||
| Altenmedingen Langbett 3 | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 29th Aug 2022 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Three preserved long barrows. Grave number 2 is still in the best state of preservation. In the case of grave number 1, however, the mound can still be clearly seen. | ||
| Drethem Schalenstein | Rock Art | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 29th Aug 2022 | 3 | 1 | 5 | The cups are clearly visible and can also be felt very well. Unfortunately, due to the stone itself, they don't come into 'magic' like on the other photos right now. | ||
| Bunsoh Megalithgrab mit Schalenstein | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | A really impressive tomb. The cup stone shows how many centuries it must have been in use (from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and maybe even the Iron Age). | ||
| Albersdorf Brutkamp | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Magnificent dolmen! According to local tradition, sacrifices were made here by young couples to the Norse goddess Freya. | ||
| Albersdorf Steingrab (Papenbusch) | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Easily accessible via the forest path. Reminds me a bit of the 'Hünensteine von Axstedt'. | ||
| Hanerau Hademarschen Steingrab | Passage Grave | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The proximity to the climbing park and the school is also evident here (unfortunately a lot of rubbish accumulates). A recommendation for visitors: Always have a garbage bag and a grab for cleaning up with you! | ||
| Hademarscher Berge | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | In their size, these tumuli are very well preserved! However, there is a climbing park nearby (unfortunately it causes a lot of waste). | ||
| Dellbruecker Kammer | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Easy to get to and fairly well preserved. Really worth the trip! | ||
| Albersdorf Steingrab (Frestedt) | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Wonderfully reconstructed megalithic tomb! I was really looking forward to visiting this grave at the end of my hike! | ||
| Albersdorf Langbett 1 | Long Barrow | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 1 | 3 | 3 | Extremely destroyed long barrow. Can only be found through the information board. | ||
| Albersdorf Langbett 3 | Long Barrow | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Also a long barrow, which was badly affected by the destruction in the 19th century. | ||
| Albersdorf Langbett 4 | Long Barrow | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 2 | 3 | 3 | The long barrow shows some major damage, but is still very visible overall! | ||
| Albersdorf Huegelgrab (LA55) | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Also a small tumulus in this area directly behind the long barrow. However, with a very deep excavation in the middle. | ||
| Albersdorf Huegelgrab (LA54) | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Small but well preserved tumulus with an attached information board. | ||
| Albersdorf Huegelgrab (LA58) | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Large tumulus that can be climbed via a staircase. Good for surveying the entire area! | ||
| Albersdorf AOEZA Stoneage Village | Museum | Germany | Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg | Visited | 28th Aug 2022 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Wonderful museum village with many attractions and activities for both younger and older audiences. Absolute recommendation! | ||
| Grosssteingrab Aurich-Tannenhausen | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 20th Aug 2022 | 2 | 4 | 5 | This megalithic grave was largely reconstructed after the destruction and is today the only megalithic grave that can be visited in the East Friesland region. | ||
| Rillenstein von Stedesdorf | Sculptured Stone | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 20th Aug 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | I photographed the 'Rillenstein' from all four sides for you. Although it is not particularly large, the groove is particularly well preserved! | ||
| Stapelstein | Cist | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 20th Aug 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Not exactly well-preserved Bronze Age stone chest. But worth the visit as always! | ||
| Horster Sonnenstein | Rock Art | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 20th Aug 2022 | 4 | 2 | 5 | Incredibly good replica. The original is in Horsten's local school! | ||
| Museum Archaeologische Arbeitsgemeinschaft e.V | Museum | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 18th Aug 2022 | 5 | 5 | 4 | A really beautiful museum. Although not particularly large, it still shines with a very large number of finds, expert staff who are happy to inform you about the exhibits, changing special exhibitions and an in-house shop where you can buy true-to-the-original self-made stone axes etc. from the muse...

| Schwedenspeicher-Museum | Museum | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 31st Jul 2022 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Magnificent stocked museum! Above all, the prehistoric collection really convinces! | ||
| Osterholz Scharmbeck Museumsanlage | Museum | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 14th Aug 2022 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Wonderfully small but fine museum. The exhibits for Megalithic fans are limited, but there is a beautiful cup-stone in front of the museum and the finds in the museum are well cataloged. | ||
| Steden Grab 1 | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 23rd Jul 2022 | 2 | 2 | 3 | Unfortunately, the damage from last year, caused by forestry work, was not repaired, but simply left behind. | ||
| Daudieck Rillenstein | Sculptured Stone | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 16th Jul 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | I was able to make find the correct stone. On my first visit I didn't immediately find the small private cemetery in the forest and mistook another stone for the 'Rillenstein von Daudieck'. | ||
| Grabhügelfeld Feerner Moor | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 16th Jul 2022 | 2 | 4 | 3 | The tumuli in the northern part of the forest are very visible, while the southern tumuli are rather hidden and extremely shallow. | ||
| Grabhügelfeld Neegenbargsheide | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 11th Jul 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Well preserved barrow cemetery. The tumli show traces of illegal excavations. However, some are still in fairly good condition in terms of their height and diameter. | ||
| Langen Dolmen | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 6th Jun 2022 | 3 | 2 | 5 | Located right in town, the setting is rather unusual for this megalithic tomb. Nevertheless, I was pleased to finally be able to visit it. | ||
| Drei Berge Huegelgraeberfeld bei Berensch | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 6th Jun 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The tumuli show holes from excavations and are also heavily overgrown. However, due to their size, they are easy to spot in the field. | ||
| Fuchsberg (Berensch) | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 6th Jun 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Easily seen from the side of the trail and truly impressive in size. | ||
| Vorgeschichtspfad in Berensch-Arensch | Museum | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 6th Jun 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | The prehistory path is only slightly signposted; There are good signs with additional information along the way. | ||
| Teufelsstein von Berensch | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 6th Jun 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Easy to spot in the middle of the village right on the way to the war memorial. | ||
| Berensch Schipbarg Huegelgrab | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 6th Jun 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Heavily overgrown, but easily recognizable along the way. | ||
| Lübbensteine Nordgrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 28th May 2022 | 4 | 5 | 4 | The so-called "Lübbensteine" are among the most beautiful megalithic complexes (in my opinion) that you can visit in Northern Germany (the two tombs are breathtaking because of the rather surreal stone shapes). | ||
| Lübbensteine Südgrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 28th May 2022 | 3 | 5 | 4 | The so-called "Lübbensteine" are among the most beautiful megalithic graves (in my opinion) that you can visit in Northern Germany (the two tombs are breathtaking because of the rather surreal stone shapes). | ||
| Großsteingrab am Sandteich | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 28th May 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The surrounding park grounds beautifully frame the megalithic tomb (although it could use some care itself). | ||
| Grosssteingrab am Dorm | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 28th May 2022 | 4 | 5 | 3 | Wonderful location with a really nice view! Also easy to reach via small hiking trails. | ||
| Nordsteimke Dolmengrab | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 28th May 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Easy to get to as it has been relocated right next to the road. | ||
| Süntelstein | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Just missed by a tree in the last storm, the menhir still stands (luckily!) | ||
| Museum und Park Kalkriese | Museum | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Wonderfully beautiful museum (also suitable for the whole family!) You can stay here extremely long and also explore the area nicely. For children, however, the exhibition might be a bit too text-heavy. | ||
| Eisenzeithaus Venne | Museum | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 5 | 5 | 4 | There is an information board on site with all the necessary information. The reconstruction is really impressive! | ||
| Teufels Backofen Vehrte | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Not quite as beautifully situated as the Teufelsdrog, but a little more impressive. Also easy to reach via a small path. | ||
| Teufels Teigtrog | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Not particularly magnificent, but with all the bigger stories that revolve around the megalithic tomb. The surroundings are also fabulously beautiful. | ||
| Clemens-August-Dorfer Hünengrab 1 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Wonderfully preserved megalithic tomb! Definitely worth the visit and also a real highlight due to the wooded surroundings! | ||
| Darpvenne Grab 1 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The three megalithic tombs located here are definitely worth a visit! Clear recommendation. Easy to get to and wonderful to take a break! | ||

| Darpvenne Grab 2 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The three megalithic tombs located here are definitely worth a visit! Clear recommendation. Easy to get to and wonderful to take a break! | ||
| Driehausen Menhir | Modern Stone Circle etc | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Big boulder on the wayside. If you're already in the area, you can stop for a moment. If I understood correctly today, the locals from the village set up their maypole next to the boulder (but could also have been a topping-out tree) | ||
| Driehausen Grosssteingrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Nicely situated in a small grove and easily accessible through a small path. It ws a nice visit! | ||
| Felsener Esch 1 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Mostly destroyed, but the original burial chamber can still be seen. | ||
| Felsener Esch 2 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 2 | 3 | 4 | The remains of a unfortunately blown up megalithic tomb. | ||
| Hoststeine | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 7th May 2022 | 1 | 3 | 4 | Easily accessible via a small path. However, it is not in very good condition. | ||
| Drachenstein bei Donnern | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st May 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Nicely located and easy to get to. However, the ambiance suffered a lot from the storm of a few weeks ago. I hope that the damage to the benches and the information board will be repaired. | ||
| Laehden Steingrab 1 | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | My last visit on my trip today. Unfortunately, the area is very overgrown, so you can hardly get good pictures of the entire megalithic tomb. Otherwise a beautiful facility! | ||
| Hueven Steingrab 2 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 4 | 3 | 4 | The old German saying "Small but nice!" definitely applies to this megalithic tomb. Enjoyed visiting! | ||
| Hueven Steingrab 1 | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Particularly well preserved and therefore worth a visit for every megalithic fan! | ||
| Gross Berssen Steingrab 1 'Ipeken Tannenwald' | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Unlike grave no. 2, this one is in worse condition, but as so often, definitely worth the visit! | ||
| Gross Berssen Steingrab 2 'Im Ipeken' | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Located directly on the road and easy to reach via a footpath, you should definitely stop by here if you have already visited the other graves in this area. | ||
| Gross Berssen Steingrab 7 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 5 | 4 | 4 | This reconstructed megalithic tomb shows visitors what the tombs once looked like. Simply wonderful, since many consider the stones - the skeletons of the tumuli as it were - to be the 'normal' appearance of megalithic complexes. | ||
| Gross Berssen Steingrab 8 'Koenigsgrab' | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Wonderful megalithic tomb, but the name is bigger than the tomb itself. | ||
| Gross Berssen Steingrab 6 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | This megalithic grave has been on the coat of arms of the district of Emsland since 1981 and is therefore often colloquially referred to as a coat of arms grave. | ||
| Gross Berssen Steingrab 13 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 1 | 4 | 4 | In any case, the chamber can still be seen clearly in this megalithic tomb. | ||
| Gross Berssen Steingrab 4 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 2 | 4 | 4 | This megalithic tomb is also almost destroyed. However, some larger megaliths remain. | ||
| Gross Berssen Steingrab 3 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 1 | 4 | 4 | Almost completely destroyed. However, megaliths can still be seen. The nearby car park is ideal for exploring the area! | ||
| Bruneforths Esch Huenengrab 2 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Unfortunately not particularly well preserved, but easily accessible by car. | ||
| Bruneforths Esch Huenengrab 1 | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Fairly well preserved and with massive megaliths. Wonderful visit which I thoroughly enjoyed. | ||
| Klein Stavern Steingrab 1 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Easily accessible, but there are no really good parking facilities. Otherwise, just walk the last few meters. Worth it! | ||
| Klein Stavern Hügelgräberfeld | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Unfortunately, the entire area has probably been weeded and has been severely affected. An information board was probably destroyed in the storm a few weeks ago. I hope that the area will shine again in better splendor in the future. | ||
| Klein Stavern Steingrab 5 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | There is damage here too, but the stonework has been well preserved and the burial chamber is still clearly visible. | ||
| Klein Stavern Steingrab 4 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Here you can still see the former burial chamber and the stone setting of the former tumulus reasonably well. | ||
| Klein Stavern Steingrab 3 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Unfortunately, most of it has been destroyed, but the former place for the burial chamber can still be recognized to some extent by the large megaliths. | ||
| Klein Stavern Steingrab 2 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Located just off the road, these tombs can be reached very easily on the 'Megalithic Road'. | ||
| Apeldorn Steingrab 'Der Steinerne Schluessel' | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Definitely worth the visit, even though it's more of a small megalithic tomb. Easy to reach through the nearby car park and you can take a wonderful break here. | ||
| D51 Noordsleen | Passage Grave | Netherlands | Drenthe | Visited | 30th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Although not as big as the nearby grave D50. But it was still worth the visit and if you're ever in the area... | ||

| Emsen Ganggrab | Passage Grave | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 3rd Oct 2021 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Megalithic grave in very good condition.

| Byhusen Steingrab | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 26th Sep 2021 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Unfortunately the site is not in good condition. The hunter's high position can work well as a landmark. You can still find some larger stones, which are, however, heavily overgrown. | ||
| Deinste Steingrab 2 | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Saw from a distance | 14th Feb 2021 | 1 | 3 | 4 | It's next to an oak tree on private property. So until now I could only see it from a distance. | ||
| Selsingen Schalenstein Milleniumwald | Rock Art | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 15th Sep 2021 | 3 | 2 | 5 | The cup and ring marks can be seen very clearly on the rock. The front of the stone was converted (through modern interventions) into a welcome stone for the 'Milleniumwald von Selsingen' - 'Millenium Forest of Selsingen'. | ||
| Heinschenwall Ringwall | Misc. Earthwork | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 13th Sep 2021 | 2 | 3 | 5 | The wall of 'Heinschenwall' probably gave the nearby village its current name. A connection to the 'Hinzel' Forest (or: 'Heinzel') can also be identified in terms of language. Perhaps the original name of the fort was lost over the centuries. There is also only historical evidence of the facility in... Read More |

| Wanna Steingrab (3) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 3rd Sep 2021 | 3 | 4 | 3 | The last megalithic grave that I visited in this forest. Due to the small size of the area, the megalithic tombs can be found fairly easily. | ||
| Wanna Steingrab (2) | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 3rd Sep 2021 | 3 | 3 | 3 | The megalithic grave can be searched for after the other graves in the area. It is also located in the small wooded area. | ||

| Steinbeck Huenenschloss | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 28th Aug 2021 | 2 | 3 | 4 | The megaliths are very scattered across the property. However, due to their size, they are easily eye-catching. | ||

| Oldendorf Langbett 3 | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 22nd Aug 2021 | 3 | 5 | 4 | The best time to come is when the heather is in bloom. Then the whole area is a really magical place. | ||
| Oldendorf Steingrab 2 | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 22nd Aug 2021 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Located right next to a large oak, this heavily damaged megalithic grave is still a beautiful sight. | ||

| Giebichenstein | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 8th Aug 2021 | 5 | 4 | 4 | This huge boulder probably served as a landmark for the reindeer hunters thousands of years ago.

| Oldenbuettel Grabhuegel | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th Jul 2021 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 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. | ||
| Sievern Hügelgrab (2) | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 23rd Jul 2021 | 1 | 3 | 4 | This tumulus is difficult to see.

| Brake Huegelgrab | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jun 2021 | 4 | 3 | 3 | A tumulus which is very nice to look at; but there is no direct path to it, so that you can only see it up close between autumn and spring. | ||
| Bliedersdorf Langbett 4 | Long Barrow | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 1st Jun 2021 | 3 | 2 | 4 | Unfortunately, the entire area is heavily overgrown and due to the death of various trees in this little forest, the area can no longer be walked on without permission.

| Grabhügelfeld Apensen | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 30th May 2021 | 2 | 1 | 4 | Unfortunately, the eight tumuli in the forest are very difficult to see. The forest is used as a disposal point for green waste. | ||

Some of the tumuli can be reached easily, others require a l... Read More |

| Siddernhausen Grosssteingrab | Chambered Tomb | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 23rd May 2021 | 3 | 4 | 4 | A really good reconstruction (the original grave was around 500 meters away).

| Byhusen Huegelgrab 3 | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Lower Saxony, Bremen | Visited | 6th May 2021 | 2 | 2 | 3 | Unfortunately, right next to the tumulus is the unloading area for stones of all kinds. Very ugly to look at. However, the tumulus can still be seen well. | ||
