Visbeker Braut und Bräutigam, Prehistoric dolmen complex in Wildeshausen, Germany
The site consists of two large stone graves, with the Visbeker Bräutigam measuring 104 meters in length and containing 170 glacial boulders.
The megalithic tombs were constructed during the Funnel Beaker Culture period between 3500 and 2800 BCE as part of the Nordic Megalithic architecture.
Local folklore tells of a bride who chose petrification over marrying an unwanted suitor, resulting in two stone formations representing the wedding party.
The hiking trail connecting both dolmens starts at Landgasthaus Engelmannsbäke and extends for 16.6 kilometers through the Naturpark Wildeshauser Geest.
The Visbeker Braut burial chamber measures 5.5 by 1.5 meters and contains aligned stones that suggest potential astronomical purposes.
