photos 2007:
Wij wonen nu 1 jaar in Drenthe en hebben de vier seizoenen hier meegemaakt. De grafheuvel op de foto hierboven, die tussen Drouwen en Borger ligt, ziet er in elk seizoen indrukwekkend uit.
Since 1 year we live in Drenthe and we experienced all four seasons here. The grave-mound, situated between Drouwen and Borger, looks impressive in every season.
In de zomer van 2008 is er een bord met verklarende tekst bij de grafheuvel geplaatst.
In summer 2008 they placed a sign with the grave-mound explaining that this one is the only one remaining from a row of grave-mounds between Borger and Drouwen. The other hills were gradually leveled. May be the heavy and massive stones which were used for this grave-mound saved it from destruction. Because of these stones it was possible to find out that this hill is from the bronze age, dated to about 1800 - 1500 BC. The grave-mounds in this area were situated along a centuries-old North-South route over the Hondsrug. In prehistory they used to bury the dead alongside roads. These roads only were simple foot-paths or cart-ruts.
