    The rocks are not far from the path. A very nice big stone grave. One of the gigantic cover plates is broken. A blackboard gives information about the background.

      The Schmeersteine megalithic tomb bears the Sprockhoff number 977 and was built in the Neolithic period between 3500 and 2800 BC as a megalithic structure of the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK). Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their creation and function are considered to be a hallmark of social development.

      For me, the Schmeersteine are one of the most beautiful and magical stone tombs.

        Always impressive when you consider how long these stones have been here.
