Östringer Steine Megalithic Tombs

Remains of Neolithic megalithic tombs from the period between 3500 and 2800 BC. More details on an information board on site.

The stones are in the shade and are a popular opportunity for breaks.

Nice place steeped in history. The stone graves are over 5000 years old. They are right on the street.

The Oestringer stones were probably not meant well at the time, as evidenced by the numerous furrows and wedge holes that indicate attempts to split them. Also, most of the chamber of the western tomb is still deep underground and cannot be seen. That and the fact that the facility is just off the road and across from a large farm doesn't exactly make it a place I would revisit...unless my path would take me right past it anyway 🤷‍♀️
