The second-largest dolmen in the Netherlands can be found in Havelte. Dolmen D53 is the only dolmen damaged during the war. The German air force wanted to build an airfield at this location, so the stones were moved. The airfield was bombed to pieces, and the dolmen was excavated and reassembled. The dolmen is approximately 18 meters long, almost complete, and lies on the edge of a heathland. Along with dolmens D54 and D52, it is one of the few in this part of Drenthe. Dolmen D54 is slightly smaller than D53. It lies in the middle of a small sandy plain surrounded by grass. It is a beautiful walking area around these dolmens, as the small sandy plain is surrounded by heathland, small forests, and meadows. Dolmen D53 and D54 are a must-see on your dolmen tour because they are complete, well-maintained, and impressive. If you're coming from Havelte, you can follow the main road, which will take you past a side road. If you take this, the dolmen is almost immediately on your left. Continue driving a little further, and you'll find dolmen D54. Source: https://www.drenthe.nl/locaties/1800662783/hunebed-d53-en-d54-1

At the end of World War II, several Allied bombings were carried out over the German military airfield on Havelterberg. The numerous bomb craters, visible in the landscape as "round pools," are silent witnesses to this turbulent period. Source: https://www.drenthe.nl/locaties/4065299428/bomkrater

Dolmen D53 is the third largest dolmen in the Netherlands, measuring about 18 meters long. The dolmen is almost complete and is beautifully situated on the edge of the heath. However, it was taken apart by the German air force during the Second World War to make room for an airfield. Fortunately, there were drawings and the dolmen was reassembled after the war. D53 is located next to the smaller dolmen D54.

Hunebed D54 has six capstones, four of which rest completely on the supporting stones. The easternmost capstone is missing, as is the keystone below it. However, all fourteen sidestones are present, and there is still one gate sidestone to be found. The hunebed is beautifully situated next to the Havelterberg heathland. The larger hunebed D53 is 150 metres away.

Hunebed D53 is located on the Hunestromenweg near Havelte. With a length of almost 18 meters, this is one of the largest dolmens in the Netherlands, only dolmen D27 located a little further away in Borger is larger. On the side of the road is the smaller dolmen D54. Today the dolmen has 21 side stones, 4 keystones and 9 covering stones, which have rested on the supporting stones since a restoration in 1991. Originally it would have consisted of more than 40 stones. During excavations in 1918, many pottery shards were found, from which many hundreds (some researchers say more than 600) pots could be traced back. This made it the largest find ever in a dolmen in Drenthe. In addition, three flint axes, an arrowhead, a hammer axe, three beads of jet and one of amber were found.

D53 was removed by the Germans during the Second World War and the stones were thrown into a pit. This in the context of the construction of an airport. Thanks to previous research by Professor van Giffen, the dolmen has been replaced. It is said that the dolmen has lost its soul. It is certainly busier around the dolmens at the weekend, but walk further into the grounds and you will hardly encounter anyone.
