Borger, Netherlands Attractions

Borger, southeast of Assen, is famed for its megalithic tombs (hunebedden, "giants' beds") and for its traditional Drenthe weddings in local costume (wasschups). On the road to Bronneger, at No. 27, is the largest hunebed in the Netherlands, the Onbesuisde Steenhoop (the "reckless heap of stones"), 22m/72ft long. There are 47 surviving stones.
