The chamber of the megalithic tomb Sassnitz-Waldhalle 1 is oriented east-west and measures approx. 4 x 1.30 metres. The long sides each have three supporting stones. The endstone on the west side is also present. On the eastern narrow side, where the entrance was apparently located, there is a half-height stone. Two of the original three capstones lie on top. The site has presumably been reconstructed, because when Sprockhoff took his recordings in 1931, the capstones were still lying next to the chamber. A few individual stones around the chamber probably represent remains of an enclosure.
The tomb is located northeast of Sassnitz in the middle of the Jasmund National Park. To get to the tomb start at the UNESCO World Heritage Forum Waldhalle. Take the road to the west until you came to a three way crossing. Take the left track which after 250 m first leads in a wide curve around a hill with the tomb Sassnitz-Waldhalle 2. After about 600 m from the crossing you'll find a sign for Sassnitz-Waldhalle 1 on the right hand side, which lies about 50 m from the track in the forest.
