The Plingenberger Steine im Langen Sand - that's the full name - is a large stone burial complex of five graves. They were dated to the time of the Neolithic funnel beaker culture. Unfortunately only one of the original five graves has been preserved. This is a tomb that has a mound and the edges of which are not readily discernible. Except for one stone on the south-east side, all the tombstones are still in situ. This means that the stones are still in the same place as when they were erected for the burial place.

A sign points to the remains of the Plingenberg stones, a large stone grave. Unfortunately I couldn't see anything except the blackboard with some information. The stones are either completely overgrown or have been removed and used for other purposes. What a shame.

They are not as spectacular as other megalithic graves, but they show how widespread the culture is. More information is available via strassedermegalithkultur dot de. This route is also part of the Geestweg long-distance hiking trail. You can also find the Geestweg with a great description here on Komoot
