    Hiking

    The Glaner Braut is an archaeological site near Dötlingen in the Wildeshausen district. The four tombs are made of large stones and were created between 3,500 and 2,800 BC. They give an insight into the culture, customs and ideology of Neolithic society.

    Hiking

    The Glaner Braut is a collection of four megalithic tombs on a sandy, heather-covered hillock on the left bank of the Hunte River near Dötlingen.

    The charming path from Dötlingen to the tombs runs through the Hunte lowlands.

    Their location and monumentality make them visible from afar.

    The suffix "Braut" (Bride) is not recorded in its origins.

    With a length of 50 m and a width of 6 to 8 m, Grave I is the largest of the group of four. The enclosure consists of a rectangular megalithic bed.
