Beautiful surroundings with lots of nature and beautiful cycling routes

Peace, beautiful coulisse landscape.

Most beautiful spot in the backyard

It is a beautiful, medium-sized dolmen and it is located in a touristically attractive area: 150 meters from the paved road in a small sand drift. The dolmen lies diagonally against the slope of a sand hill. It is quite complete. All 12 supporting stones, all six capstones and the two keystones are present. Even the gate is complete with two supporting stones and one capstone.

The dolmen at this location is dolmen D1 in Steenbergen. It is a fairly large dolmen, examined and numbered by prof. Van Griffen. This is therefore not the so-called N (Fake) 1 dolmen. This N1 dolmen does exist, is much smaller and is indeed fake but is located elsewhere in Steenbergen.

Almost indistinguishable from the real thing

No idea what to believe. Nicolaas Westendorp published a book in 1815, this is a travel report from 1811 or 1812 and hunebed D1 is mentioned in it. This hunebed is the northernmost hunebed in the province of Drenthe and has therefore been given number 1. The archaeologist professor Albert van Giffen, who researched hunebeds, numbered them from north to south per province. He found the 6 capstones, 12 side stones, 2 keystones, 2 gate side stones and 1 gate capstone in a disorderly state, two capstones were broken. I can't find number N1 of Nep? anywhere, because it gives D1 as a number. The hunebed is 11.6 meters long and 3.6 meters wide. The cellar contents have never been investigated. Maybe that's why it's Nep?? I don't think this hunebed is much different from the one I saw in Borger. In Borger near the church they were quite a bit bigger. Fake dolmens look smaller to me.
