[3] The hunebed (dolmen) D53 [nl] is located in Havelterberg near Havelte and is the second largest of the Netherlands.

There were still 24 left in 1918 when Albert Egges van Giffen researched the dolmen.

5,600 forced labourers were transported to Havelte to construct the airport.

On 24 March 1945, the Americans dropped 271 tons of bombs on the airport.

The location is nowadays a nature area and some of the German buildings have remained.
