A group of five dolmens (D21, D22, D23, D24 and D25) located near the place Borger - Bronneger in the province of Drenthe. Dolmen D21 contained most of the archaeological finds dated to 3400 BC. It is also the most photogenic dolmen due to the huge beech tree. Also a short distance away are two burial mounds from the Bronze Age.

De Hondsrug - Hunebed (Dolmen) - a megalithic burial chamber from the Neolithic (4000-3000 BC) of the Trechterbeker (Funnelbeaker) culture. As a portal grave built from huge stones that were dragged along by the ice from southern Sweden and Finland during the Ice Age for about 150,000 years. There are 52 dolmens in Drenthe and two in Groningen and traces of dolmens have been found in at least thirty other places, but without the large stones. Originally there would have been at least 88 dolmens in the Netherlands.
