Altensien

Dolmen / Quoit / Cromlech

Nucleus Aug 28, 2021

Altensien aka Goldbusch is a grand dolmen oriented in a northeast-southwest direction. According to the information board it is the last of formerly 43 tombs between Altensien and Seedorf.

The site was badly damaged. It was excavated and restored in 1969 by E. Schuldt. It has three supporting stones on each long side. The end stones are also preserved. The entrance consisted of two sandstone slabs. One of the original two capstones has sunk halfway into the chamber, the second is missing. The capstone has numerous cup marks.

To get to the tomb, drive on the B196 from Lancken-Granitz to Sellin and Göhren, turn right towards Altensien and Moritzdorf. Drive through Altensien in the direction of Moritzdorf and after about 1 km immediately east of the narrow road, close to Selliner See, you will find the signed megalitic tomb on the left on a small hill.
