If you're on the track runs around in a kind of Park is neatly sectioned off with stones the dolmen D25. Of the three dolmens that here at each other is this copy the largest. Unlike the other two dolmens of this trio is this very complete.
Dolmen D25 has four large casing stones and the gate is clearly visible, but has no wreath stones. The stones themselves are quite large.
This dolmen is definitely worth to look at, especially because there are 4 dolmens are just a stone's throw away.

The stones of the Dutch Dolmens are thought to have been moved here during the Ice Age, when the land ice stretched to the middle of the country as we now know it.
Purpose:
Even though Dolmens are often thought to be burial grounds, there is ample evidence that corpses were burnt instead of buried. Some of the "hunebedden" do contain artifacts thought to be to help deceased people on their last voyage.
