Großsteingrab Alt Reddevitz

Großsteingrab Alt Reddevitz is a megalithic tomb built from large stone slabs arranged in a burial chamber, situated on the island of Rügen near Göhren. The structure displays typical features of Neolithic stone monuments with roughly hewn blocks fitted together and still standing in their original configuration.

This megalithic tomb originates from the Neolithic period and reflects burial customs of early human societies in northern Germany. Constructing such monuments required considerable effort and demonstrates the advanced organizational capabilities of these ancient communities.

Local residents know this megalithic structure as Herzogsgrab, connecting it to ancient burial practices rooted in the earliest communities. The stone monument remains part of how people experience and understand this rural landscape today.

The site is accessible through local roads and hiking paths departing from Middelhagen and remains open year-round for visitors. Being located in open countryside, sturdy footwear and weather protection are recommended, especially when conditions turn windy or wet.

The location is surrounded by wild roses, yellow gorse, and large glacial boulders left by ice age glaciers. This natural setting creates an experience that intertwines prehistoric history with the landscape's geological past.
