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

Nice place to rest. very cozy.

Note that a little further on there is a better bench than this one that is crooked.

nice place for a break

nice view from the bench

Throughout the field you will encounter several bomb craters from when the Allies bombed the Germans here in WWII. Both "wet" and "dry" bomb craters are present that are now an important place for frogs and salamanders.
