Dolmens D21 and D22

Dolmens D21 and D22 are located next to each other and are therefore also called twins. Dolmen D21 is not only the most photogenic, because of the large beech that stands directly behind the stones, but is also where most of the archaeological finds have been made.

A group of three other dolmens can be found a short distance away: D23, D24 and D25. There are also two burial mounds nearby.

On a sandy path southwest of the village Bronneger. D21 was built in 1918 by the archaeologist A.E. excavated by van Giffen.

In the village of Bronneger, north of Borger, you will find no less than five dolmens. The Dolmen D21 is the most beautiful dolmen of the five because it is very complete and most archaeological finds have been made. At this dolmen is a huge beech attached, which gives a picturesque picture. The Dolmen D22 is just a stone's throw away and has the same structure as D21, but is in a worse condition. This is the smallest dolmen that still stands in Drenthe.

If you come from Bronneger, you will take the Steenakkersweg, which turns into a sandy path. If you've passed dolmens D23, D24 and D25, you'll see D21 and D22 on the right side in a separate field with big trees.
