Dolmen Nobbin, Ancient burial site near Altenkirchen, Germany.

The megalithic tomb features a trapezoidal enclosure with 39 remaining boundary stones and measures 34 meters in length and 8 to 11 meters in width.

During excavations in 1970, archaeologists discovered Neolithic artifacts including arrowheads, a sword, broken vessels, and bone fragments within the burial chambers.

The construction style of the guardian stones, rising over 3 meters tall on the southwest side, reflects architectural elements found in Scandinavian dolmen structures.

The archaeological site requires walking across uneven terrain and lacks facilities, making it necessary to bring water and appropriate footwear for exploration.

Between the guardian stones, researchers found pottery fragments from the Slavic Rani tribe and a 9th-century Arabic silver coin, indicating centuries of human activity.
