Hoggen Steine Megalithic Tomb

I always find it impressive to see stone graves like this and this one was quite long, 27 meters if I remember correctly and is said to be the longest in the Nordic district.

A bench invites you to linger and an information board reveals a few facts.

The Hoogen Steener are among the tombs located along the "Road of Megalithic Culture." For more information about this, or just to get some insight, visit strassedermegalithkultur.de. The tourist information office in Werlte also has an information flyer with a map of many of the stone tombs. Finds from this period can be seen in Oldenburg at the "Nature and Man" Museum on the dam (naturundmensch.de), which regularly hosts special exhibitions, or at the Emsland Archaeology Museum (archaeologie-emsland.de) in Meppen.
