Tips
In addition to the Visbeker Bridegroom's large stone grave, it is easy to miss the smaller graves. Both date back to the Neolithic period and are 5,000 to 5,500 years old.

The megalithic grave 935 (according to Sprockhoff) is located a few meters northwest of the "Visbek Groom". The burial mound has largely retained its shape. Two capstones of the chamber protrude from the top. The supporting stones are probably still deep in the ground. It is currently not possible to say whether the chamber originally had more than two capstones. - tw.strahlen.org/praehistorie/niedersachsen/visbek935.html
