Discover dolmens from the city of Groningen

  • The Netherlands
  • Drenthe
  • Tynaarlo
  • 56.20 km (Approximately 03:18 u)
  • Cycling route 178608

Just a cup of coffee at Van der Valk Hotel Groningen - Hoogkerk and then: on to the dolmens! Near Midlaren you will find the hunebedden D04 and D03, together called the Hunenborg. They are nicely hidden between two old farmhouses, along a romantic sandy path. The city of Groningen is located on the northern spur of the Hondsrug, the hunebed region of the Netherlands. So it's not surprising that you can see them so beautifully near here. You also drive through the city itself. It is worth getting off and walking onto the Grote Markt. Also worth seeing: the Vismarkt with a number of beautiful buildings and the Korenbeurs, where there was a lot of trading in the nineteenth century.

Sights

Korenschoof


9479PW Groningen
http://www.allemolens.nl

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were used not only to produce flour from cereals, but also to reclaim polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, really set up as a polder model. A must see!

Hunebed G01

Hunebed G1 Noordlaren
9479PR Groningen
http://www.hunebedden.nl

You can find this ancient hunebed near Noordlaren in Groningen. The hunebed still consists of one keystone, four side stones and two capstones. The six missing side stones were probably stolen at some point. The missing stones are marked with cement plombs, so you can easily imagine how big the hunebed was originally. Until 1982 it was thought that this was the only hunebed in Groningen, but later more dolmens were discovered in Groningen. Close to the hunebed is a large boulder that may once belonged to the hunebed, but that is not certain. In 1957 about 150 pots were excavated at the hunebed.
