Description
One of the most important attractions on the island of Sylt originates from Neolithic times: It is the megalithic tomb “Denghoog” close to Wenningstedt. The meaning of the name is „thing hill“, which is an assembly place. The mound was established as a clan or family tomb in the third millennium before Christ. In the large earthen mound there is a completely preserved polygonal stone chamber roofed with six mighty lintels. The passage and the burial chamber can be visited through a very narrow artificial entrance and over a steep ladder.

The Denghoog is one of the most impressive and best-preserved megalithic tombs in northern Europe. It is as old as Stonehenge in England. The roof and boundary stones weigh up to 18,000 kg each. The chamber is accessible either through a six-metre-long corridor or an opening in the roof.
