Hemmelmark Steingrab (12) submitted by krautrock : In summertime it's difficult to see anything from the tombstones. The landowners have no interest to clean this ancient locations. Much work, no money and a lot of curious people in the fields.

Hemmelmark Steingrab (12) submitted by krautrock : The chamber-endstone in the north. Probably the roots will disturb the tomb. It's a problem at many locations I've been to.
