    The Poppostein (also called Taufstein, Danish: Popposten(en)) is a megalithic tomb from the Neolithic period near the Ochsenweg at Helligbek, municipality of Sieverstedt, in the Schleswigsche Geest east of the B76 from Flensburg to Schleswig. The megalithic structure of the Funnel beaker culture (TBK) was created between 3500 and 2800 BC.
    The prehistoric grave Poppostein is located near Helligbek. Bishop Poppo is said to have converted the Danish King Harald Bluetooth to Christianity here.

    Hidden in the rolling hills west of Idstedt lies the Poppostein – an extended dolmen from the Neolithic period (c. 4200–1700 BC), once part of an earth-covered burial mound. Despite partial destruction, several supporting stones, a capstone, and a possible passage are still visible today.

    The burial chamber is surrounded by six historic boundary stones bearing the coat of arms
    of the Danish King Frederick VII, who acquired the site in 1859.


    But it's not just the Stone Age architecture that fascinates.
