D53 Havelterberg submitted by Sunflowerbird : D53 Havelteberg The two Havelteberg monuments are a long way west from the string of hunebedden between Emmen and Assen. But they're worth a detour! D54 and D53 are within 400ms of each other in sandy heathland. D53 is a moster hunebed in superb shape and even has its portal stones. (2 comments)
