Museum in Limburg
Het Stenenpad, an open air collection of (large) stones from Belgium, illustrating about 30 geologic eras to cover the entire history of the Earth (Precambrian is not represented).
Relocated at its present location (a vast recreation area) in the spring of 2009, and freely accessible.
Car park at (50.9572, 5.5336). From there, 100 m to walk up a well surfaced path.
A leaflet provides a wealth of details to the interested visitors : Het Stenenpad
Although the collection of stones is not at all related to megaliths the way we understand it, I cannot resist submitting this photo first...
Some other stones in the shade of the trees.
