Dolmen D53 is the third largest dolmen in the Netherlands, measuring about 18 meters long. The dolmen is almost complete and is beautifully situated on the edge of the heath. However, it was taken apart by the German air force during the Second World War to make room for an airfield. Fortunately, there were drawings and the dolmen was reassembled after the war.

D53 is located next to the smaller dolmen D54.

You will find hunebed D53 and D54 next to each other. It's beautiful to see. You feel the history when you are there!

Beautiful hunebeds. It is often a bit busier here.
