Chambered Tomb in Lower Saxony, Bremen

One of the two "Am Hohen Stein" neolithic chambered tombs. It's located on the small mound, possibly remain of the barrow.
The Chambered tomb measures 9.30 Meters by 2.10 Meters consisting of 15 uprights and 3 cap stones, which have collapsed into the chamber.
You can reach both tombs by following signs which start at the main road.

Nevertheless a great site. July 2012 (Vote or comment on this photo)

This definitely helped to console myself from overclouded sky: Neither sunrise nor sunset were visible from this part of the world. It was very cold and windy on top of the barrow. And then I became aware, that according to the legends solstice night is the first of 12 nights haunted by The W... (Vote or comment on this photo)
