Just a short walk from the Hunebedcentrum in Borger stands D27, the largest dolmen in the Netherlands. At over 22 meters (74 feet) long and more than 5,000 years old, this megalithic monument was already ancient when Stonehenge was still centuries away. Massive boulders form the tomb, including the heaviest capstone ever used in a Dutch dolmen, estimated to weigh around 20 tons. The monument has fascinated visitors for centuries. In fact, the first documented archaeological excavation of a Dutch dolmen took place here in 1685. Yet D27 still guards its secrets. Much of the site remains undisturbed, and its sealed burial chamber continues to fuel questions about what may still lie hidden beneath these ancient stones. Standing beside the giant tomb, it is easy to understand why D27 is known as the king of the Dutch dolmens.
