Log Text: The stone circle is (as you can see in my pictures) in the middle of a cattle meadow and is therefore not always easily accessible. But otherwise a nice place on the way up from the runestone.

G1 Noordlaren submitted by Sunflowerbird on 9th Mar 2005. Noordlaren
Just over the border from Drenthe into Groningen province lies what remains of the G1 hunebed at Noordlaren. Actually, its just outside the village down a well signposted track in a small copse on the edge of wide fields. What's left is possibly only 15% of the original hunebed and is pretty impressive in its own right.
