Tips
The passage tomb La Hougue Bie [La Huhg Bii] is one of the largest and best preserved megithic tombs in Europe. As in Newgrange (Ireland), the sun shines into the burial chambers here on the morning of March 21st and September 21st, for half an hour each. It is estimated that the tomb was built in 3500 BC. Was built in the 3rd century BC. The heaviest stone weighs about 20 tons. How did they manage that? I am always amazed and totally excited. The short info film can also be viewed in German. The whole area has a lot to offer! It is best to take part in a guided tour and to bring a little time.
