Its story
Dolmens are prehistoric tombs made of a large capstone supported by upright stones. The Lalapaşa area is one of the places in Türkiye where they are most concentrated. Around the villages of Hacıdanişment, Vaysal and Kalkansöğüt there are many dolmens made of monolithic stone blocks; most have a small opening on their south-facing side. Some dolmens have been damaged by treasure hunters, which is why protecting the area is important.
