The chamber meassures 3.1 m x 1m. All six upright support stones are preserved, however, there are no capstones on the chamber. The supporting stones are still buried up to the top in the mound, which is 17.5 m long, 11 m wide and 1 m high. Since Tangeln 7 is about 100 meters south of Tangeln 1, the same directions apply. Drive from Tangeln on the K1396 towards Mellin. Just before the road turns onto the B45, the road makes a sharp right-hand bend. Here one drives straight out and parks the car directly on the right side, since a private road begins here. Walk, after about 60 m a path leads to the left. Follow this path, which first goes in a southern direction, before it turns after 100 m to northeast to lead around a field. After another 100 m the path turns to a southeast direction and leads in 350m first to the edge of a forest before it turn in a southern direction. After 120 m Tangeln 1 lies about 60 m to the left. To visit Tangeln 7 continue for further 70 m on this path, until you reach a small crossing with path leading to the left in a southeast direction. Following this path for about 100 m until you see a mound, about 20 m to the right of the path. Tangeln 7 lies within this mound. Visited April 2019
