    Hiking

    Six large stone graves, three barrows and a stone box grave congregate in the south of Westerholte. They are connected by the archaeological hiking trail "Steingräberweg". At each grave you will find information signs and learn more about the history of the megalithic tombs. They were built in the Neolithic between 3500 and 2800 BC.
