Description by the author

This route aims to visit all the megaliths around Wéris in one walk .

Start at the parking of the Dolmen of Wéris just outside Wéris, with the intention to arrive halfway in Wéris. This offers the opportunity to take a break in the catering industry. Those who want can schedule a visit to the megalith museum .

But of course you can also start in Wéris, where there is parking and public transport.

There is also a longer version that passes the legend stones and other sights in addition to the megaliths . You can find this route here.

 

There are a number of dolmens and menhirs in and around the valley in which Wéris is located. The different megaliths in the area would form different alignments with each other that are parallel to each other. Some 5,000 years ago, in the late Neolithic (late New Stone Age), people from a group of the Seine-Oise-Marne culture (SOM) erected the dolmens here.

In addition to the megaliths, there are a number of remarkable stones in the area to which legends are linked. They are associated with the megaliths ( Pierre Haina is called the white menhir) but are purely natural phenomena, not man-made structures like the megaliths.

We pass the following megaliths (in order):

- Dolmen of Wéris

- Menhir Danthine

- Dolmen d'Oppagne

- 5 menhirs d'Oppagne

- 3 Menhirs d'Oppagne

- Menhir de Morville
