Two dolmens are located in the Cammin Forest in Hohen Gubkow, north of Cammin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Situated 35 m apart, these megalithic tombs date back to the Neolithic period between 3500 and 2800 BC. They belong to the Funnelbeaker culture (TBK).
The northern dolmen, Forst Cammin 1, is an expanded structure oriented toward the northeast and southwest. All support stones of Forst Cammin 1 are completely intact. One support stone and a low entrance stone at the site shifted compared to a 1933 photograph, and one of its two capstones was replaced in that same year. The entrance to the tomb is presumably angled and located in the northeast.
To the south lies Forst Cammin 2, an expanded dolmen oriented toward the northwest and southeast. Unlike its northern neighbor, the southeastern end of the chamber with the entrance of Forst Cammin 2 is missing. One side of this tomb has three support stones, while the other has two. Both capstones of Forst Cammin 2 were replaced before 1933. They feature small basins (Schälchen), with one capstone containing the number 73 and the other containing the number 18.
Two other structures of unknown types, also named Cammin 1 and 2, were located at Cammin.
