With the Archeo Route Limburg you will discover the stories behind Limburg's history and archaeology. The most important spots of this route are marked with a work of art in the form of a spear.
The archaeological site in Stein can safely be mentioned in the same row as Stonehenge and the Drentse dolmens. The finds in the Neolithic burial vault have been waiting to be discovered there since 3500 BC.
Even before history was preserved in writing, the people of this region were already burying their dead in this area. The unimaginably long history teaches you a lot about changing eras and the site also reveals different burial rites of different civilizations.
In Stein, archaeologists were spoiled for choice with remains from the New Stone Age, Iron Age and Roman times. So don't miss the museum about the burial vault!
