Der Hunt
Date Added: 9th Aug 2018
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Would like to visit
Der Hunt submitted by Martin_L on 14th May 2015. The stone setting in May 2015. Seen from a low angle. Took the photo with old medium format camera and expired film to hopefully add some atmosphere to this reconstructed site. The stones of the site have been rediscovered during deep ploughing and rearranged without any knowledge of the original state. Furthermore the site probably originates from medieval times. Nevertheless it is featured in a recently edited book about Menhirs in Deutschland. It is situated close to an agricultural road whic...

Log Text: This site is an absolute gem and a must see for anyone interested in ancient sites. It is quite difficult to get to and I would say impossible without a guide but it is easy to find guides and travel agencies selling tours to the lost city.
I visited the site back in 2005 as part of a 6 day trek through the jungle. It takes 2 days (or 3 - depending on which villages you visit along the way) serious hiking through the Colombian jungle so you should have a decent level of fitness.
The city is based on a hill and to enter the site you must climb 1200 steps which lead from the river bed up to the city itself. The engineers were very skilled in building on hills; there are features in place that guide the water run-off down the hill without causing damage to the structures and there stone tiers throughout the city.
There are markings on some of the rocks that look like some form of ancient map and there are circular stone structures.
A beautiful site set in a beautiful location, just don't forget your insect repellant.

Chun Quoit

Site Type: Chambered Cairn

Visited: Yes on 8th Mar 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.
