Description Starting point of another nice tour with krautrock. A small way leads into a forest, a private property. As we came closer, there was a house and three people sitting outside at a table and having a nice breakfest. As we apologized and asked for some possible remains of a megalithic tomb, they answered friendly and allowed us to search.
Some more meters up there, a very beautiful spot with remains of a tomb.

Congratulations for finding this one. Never heard about it. Guess it is a very unknown site. They even left it out on the 1:25.000 topo I noticed.
Hard to tell from a photo, but it looks like the orthostat on the left is in situ, the other stones seem to be out of place. What is your impression?

One stone looks like an upright.
The tomb should be on the topo map.

This Topo-map editors are really funny. Often they mix up megalithic tombs and barrows or simply forget about them. My 1:25.000 has no signature at that position. But I guess yours looks more recent. So obviously they noticed the error and added this tomb.
