    Near the settlement Steinkimmen west of Ganderkesee are two megalithic tombs in 300 m distance from each other. The visitor, who visits the tombs from the parking lot, first encounters the more attractive Tomb II. With a chamber length of an impressive 22.5 m, it is one of the largest in the region.
    The wall stones are largely preserved and show the passage to the tomb well. The capstones, however, are lost except for one. The enclosure shows large defects.

      Before confusion arises - this is the Großsteingrab I. The better preserved Großsteingrab II is located a short distance further north-east.

        The tomb shows us how much the dead were valued by our ancestors. Such structures were created with the simplest means. Impressive
