Vester Præstegård Langdysse submitted by SandraOudshoff on 27th Aug 2023. Side view of the langdysse
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: There are no remaining stones visible on or around this langdysse, and it is situated in the middle of a grain field so we could not inspect closely. With the blooming corn flowers it felt like we were in a van Gogh picture though, so worth the trip.

Holstebro Døeshøje submitted by SandraOudshoff on 26th Aug 2023. Map of Doeshoje barrows
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: This is an amazing collection of barrows on the outskirts of the small town of Holstebro. The barrows are part of Oldtidsvejen, a prehistoric trail roughly west to east through northern Jutland, along which 560 barrows remain today and around 1300 have been levelled. Most mounds are from the Early Bronze Age, 1700-1100 BC. I can testify that driving around this part of Denmark you will continuously see bronze age barrows on the roadside and on hilltops around you.

(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The runddysse itself is now known as Vendal Hoj and climbing it gives an amazing view of the surrounding area and the fjord. The hill has no stones anymore to suggest it was once a runddysse. Close to the hill is a beautiful cist grave.

(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Langhoj of 60 meters in length, still impressive even though all the stones are gone. Our visit was made more charming by a friendly bunch of goats who were excavating the side of the Langhoj. Close by also some nice bronze age barrows.
