Small sloop stones
In a forest in the center of Halen is the large stone grave Small Sloop Stones from the Younger Stone Age. The collective grave made of boulders has a size of about 7 meters × 20 meters and is a ground monument. The burial chamber is about two meters wide and faces slightly east-west. The side stones were used to support the final cap stones, which have now fallen over. The entire stone construction was originally covered with earth and has been preserved in the north and south.
