    Tips

    One of the most beautiful and largest dolmens is D14, belonging to the larger ones. This hunebed is still fairly complete and well preserved.

    It has 6 capstones resting on the supporting stones, of which there are still a few fragments of the two (maybe even three) missing capstones in the tomb. These fragments show boreholes into which gunpowder was placed to split them.

    During restoration work, some artifices had to be applied. For example, the easternmost capstone was long supported by a masonry pillar, but this was replaced at the end of 1996 by a stainless steel pin, called a "doken".

    The hunebed is easily accessible from the paved road via a spacious parking lot. There are informative pillars both in the car park and at the hunebed itself.

      One of the largest Dutch megalithic tombs. It is located south of Eext, near the road Gieten-Rolde.
