Lalapasa Dolmen and Friends

---

I passed 3 dolmen and some standing stones while cycling from Edirne in Turkey towards the Black Sea in Bulgaria.

There was one in the town of Lalapasa, one 2 kms North of town and another near Hacidanisment. Each dolmen had a small hole that looked like a doorway, which I haven't seen anywhere else, they were made from some seriously heavy stones and different numbers of them.

Another country to add to the list of countries which have dolmen within their boundaries.

The graves in Hacidanisment looked far older than any I have seen in the U.k and some of them are hundreds of years old.The whole area needs futher exploration as I felt like there was alot more to see, cycling through the countryside I kept thinking I was seeing megalithic structures everywhere.
