Hunebedden of
South Drenthe
Hunebedden of
South Drenthe
Most of the largest hunebedden in the Netherlands are found in southern Drenthe. The langgraf ('long grave') at Schimmeres near Emmen is a very long stone enclosure that houses two intact hunebedden and the remains of a third. It is closely related to others in nearby northern Germany.
Emmerdennen and Noordsleen are other large, A-list ruins in evocative settings, the first on a rise in a old pine forest, the other on a wooded slope overlooking the fields.The secluded Papeloze Kerk ('popeless church,' from its use as a secret Protestant place of worship in the 16th century), is partially reconstructed - half has its earthen covering, while the other half remains exposed.
