Archaeology Day at the Luebbensteine
At the Neolithic megalithic tombs on the edge of the Lappwald, an event day invites visitors to discover 5,000 years of history.

The Luebbensteine, two megalithic tombs from the Neolithic era on the edge of the Lappwald forest, are among the most important archaeological monuments in the region. In 2026, an Archaeology Day invites visitors to explore the roughly 5,000-year-old megalithic structures through guided tours and hands-on activities. Experts explain the significance of the tombs and the lives of the people who once built them. For families there is a hands-on programme on Stone Age techniques. The site lies close to nature at the forest edge and is freely accessible.
