    The Mystery of the Megalithic Tombs
    The large stone grave "Heidenopfertisch" in Visbek, Lower Saxony. They are found in numerous forests in northern Germany: accumulations of huge boulders.


    Sometimes circular, sometimes oblong, not always with a capstone. Sometimes they are surrounded by a mound of earth - sometimes half buried under sand, moss and leaves. The boulder groups have survived for thousands of years and bear witness to a Neolithic culture in the north - around 3,000 years before Christ.

    Seven Stone Houses - Bergen

    7 stone houses that are actually only 5

    The 7 Stone Houses are a burial site in the middle of the Bergen military training area, between Bad Fallingbostel and Bergen. The 5000 year old graves are probably the most important archaeological monument between Hamburg and Hanover. They have been under monument protection since 1832.
    The only public access to the burial sites is via a barrier in Ostenholz, around 4 kilometers from the Walsrode motorway junction (A7/A27).

    There aren't even 7 tombs, just 5. It is believed that the number 7 was used as a magic number and was used to describe a larger number. The idiom "pack your seven things" comes close to that.
