And that story will be told from 6 May in the hunebed center in Drenthe. There they are very enthusiastic about the return of the stones. “They once came here with the ice age, then they went to Hoorn and now they are finally coming home,” says archaeologist Karla de Roest.
The stones are now in the Oertuin at the picnic field of the hunebed center. “And where we would rather not have people climb on the hunebeds, they can sit on these stones.”
Stray stone connoisseur Harry Huisman is also very enthusiastic. “These stones are the currants in the bread,” he says. “In the Hondsrug area you mainly come across stones from northern Scandinavia. But we now have one here that comes from Lapland. A Sorselegranite, and they are very rare. That is really special.”
