Dolmen Düwelsteene, Neolithic passage grave in Heiden, Germany.
The Düwelsteene dolmen consists of massive stones creating a burial chamber measuring 11.5 meters in length and 1.7 meters in width.
Built between 3470 and 2760 BCE, this megalithic structure belongs to the Funnel Beaker culture and represents the southwestern extent of their burial monuments.
The name Düwelsteene, meaning Devil's Stones, stems from local tales about a devil dropping stones while attempting to destroy Aachen Cathedral.
Located in a pine forest landscape, visitors can reach the archaeological site through marked paths, with signs providing information about its construction.
The stones, weighing up to seven tons each, were transported by glaciers from Scandinavia during the Saale glacial period to their current location.
