The two Havelterberg monuments are a long way west from the string of hunebedden, the Hunebed Highway (N34). But they're worth a detour! D54 and D53 are within 400m of each other in sandy heathland - see our nearby sites list. D54 is a lovely hunebed in great condition.

"r" missing in "Havelterberg"
"De papeloze Kerk" is a historic name of D49, not of D54
