Bierberg = ale mountain! Unlike most megalithic tombs in Germany this and some other sites in the area are built from dressed limestone slabs rather than granite glacial erratics. While the northern chamber-part and passage are well preserved, the southern part of this stunning site is damaged.

Located right next to the road, this chambered tomb can be visited quickly and easily - there are small parking bays nearby.
