"I've been to many hunebeden in the Drenthe area and they are all amazing! This one in particular is actually 2 separate burial grounds. I would recommend going but please remember to be respectful and not climb or sit on the stones. These structures are incredibly old and were used as burial sites. Its shocking how often you see people climbing on them."
