Log Text: On the way to Weyland's Smithy, stopped by this group to see our first barrow in Britain. Peaceful setting, and a nice taste of what was to come in Wiltshire. Would have like more time to be able to explore the different barrow types here.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Germany (Baden-Wuerttemberg)
Visited: Yes on 26th Dec 2020. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 5
Heidenstein (Schwörstadt) submitted by AlexHunger on 4th Sep 2005. Heidenstein - Schwörstadt (Front)
Front upright orthostat with "Soul Hole" and only remainder of former Dolmen. 1.9 Meter tall and about 3 meters wide and dated to about 2500 BC.
The cap stone was alledgedly carted away by the local blacksmith several decades ago. The rear side shows traces of fire due to the burning of trash. Archeologists have marked out the outline of the rest of the dolmen with bricks and set up an information sign.
It and the Toten Mann are the southernmost Dolmen...

Log Text: We first read the information panel, outlining the excavation and finds, and then on the "inside" of the dolmen we found some freshly laid flowers, which made the dry numbers or excavated skeletal remains in the information seem a little more human.

Hunnenstein (Dossenbach) submitted by Faseso on 11th Nov 2016. Hunnenstein near Dossenbach. The surrounding landscape is also of importance here. There seems to have been some a henge, ritual site - nearby is also the Menhir of Dossenbach. There could have been a connection of the two.

Log Text: Made another attempt to find the menhir, this time in winter... Success!
Note the updated coordinates, as you need to get pretty close to see the stone in the brushy woods.

Kerbourgnec Alignements submitted by thecaptain on 12th Jun 2006. There seemed to me to be several very clear lines of rocks stretching out into the sea in parallel rows. I believe I could see at least seven rows of rocks from where I sat on the bottom of the steps down to the beach.
Fantastic!

Log Text: This structure looks like it could have come right out of any of the village cemeteries around here, with its headstone and low walls. It was even sporting a bouquet at the foot of the grave. All that was missing was an grave candle.
