Tangeln 5

Tangeln 5 is a grand dolmen consisting of seven (?) pairs of supporting stones and likely an enclosure. The current state of preservation is moderate. All capstones are sunken, the wall stones tilted, pushed apart and therefore not all assignable. Enclosure stones are scattered. An enclosure was probably present, but the form can not be reconstructed. A maximum of four or five enclosure stones are preserved. The northwest-southeast oriented burial chamber was probably rectangular and measures 11.5 meters long and 4 meters wide. About 16 wall stones and at least five capstones are preserved.

Park at the (private) entranceway of Schloss Neumühle. A forest road starts left of the access. Follow the road slightly uphill for about 500 m. At the highest point, a path turns southwest sharply to the right. Follow this path, after 400 m you pass Tangeln 4 and 150 m further on there is the turnoff to the tomb.
