The best-known megaliths in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Ordered by how much has been written about each place. The numbers match the map.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's tombs come in groups. Around Greifswald alone: Großsteingrab Forst Poggendorf 3 to 6 (16 km), Sassen 1 to 7 (14 to 16 km), Groß Zastrow 6 and 7 (13 km). Near Waren are Großsteingrab Basedow 1 and 2 (20 km) and Moltzow 1 (14 km); near Stralsund the Müggenhall group (21 km). The Ziegensteine are among the few with a name instead of a number.
Of the 273 megalithic tombs RLQuest knows in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, 154 have a Wikipedia article, more than half. They outnumber the state's 135 castles and palaces by a wide margin. Because so many share a forest, RLQuest can turn one walk into several quests; the app reads your route past each stone setting and the tiles between them fill in.
Every dot is a place. The numbers mark the highlights listed below.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
