    The 5,000-year-old megalithic grave Long Bed in Karlsminde from the Funnel Beaker Culture measures 57 meters. It has three visible, transverse
    Rectangular dolmes, i.e. stone tables. It's a bit uncomoot inside, so I'll take pictures for you from there. ;)

      From this point it is only a few hundred meters to the long bed of Karlsminde. The long bed is a barrow from the Neolithic Age around 2,500 BC. It is an archaeological monument that is publicly accessible to everyone.

        The long bed (megalithic complex) in Karlsminde is a megalithic grave, which originally dates from the Neolithic around 2,500 BC. In North Germany, megalithic structures made up of boulders or large stones are known as megalithic graves.
        Karlsminde's 56 meter long long bed was restored between 1976 and 1978. Today it is an imposing archaeological monument, a truly stony work of art, which is open to the public and can be viewed by anyone interested. It consists of boulders, each weighing up to 2.5 tons.
        The chambers of the tomb were once a final resting place. For life “on the other side”, the departing people were given agricultural implements, valuable jewelry and clay dishes in their resting place.
        Urn graves from the Ice Age were also found within the mound of the long bed in Karlsminde, which prove that the burial site was used until after the birth of Christ. Surrounded by tall, green trees, Langbett Karlsminde is idyllically resting between the Hohenstein and Ludwigsburg estates. Even today you can still feel the relaxed tranquility in the midst of beautiful nature.
