Drenthe - Megalithic Tombs

A special feature of Drenthe is the large number of the prehistoric megalithic tombs known as hunebedden. These are constructed of huge slabs of stone carried from Scandinavia by glaciers during the Saale/Riss glacial and deposited here, particularly in the Hondsrug area. The best known hunebedden are to be found north of the village of Havelte, close to the road to Frederiksoord.
