Description
These dolmens exist in the Dutch landscape for over 5000 years. Older than the Egyptian pyramids! Built of huge granite stones, some of them weighing over 25,000 kilograms, dragged to the spot and piled up to form a rectangular stonegrave. There are still 54 of them. 52 in the province of Drenthe and 2 in the adjacent province of Groningen. "Hunebedden" as they are called in this country. Huynen means giants. These huge stones were brought here from Scandinavia during the ice age about 200,000 years ago.
