Log Text: From Stege take road 287 to Møns Klimt. In Magleby turn left to Sømarke and then turn right at the first road, this is the Stendyssevej. Drive for a few 100 meters and you will find the monument on your right, directly on the road on a high hill. No parking place, but the road is very quiet. In 2015 the info panel stated that the construction is unstable now and in danger. This will be solved in ... 2013/2014... Nope...

A relatively unknown passage grave on Møn, really worth a visit.

A new info panel tells that this passage grave had a special limestone shell to keep out water. From experience I can tell this is no longer working...

At the entrance of the wood there is a large private parking place (pay in a box before entering the place). This monument is on the near end of the parking place. It has been fully restored. On my visit the mound was paved with turfs of grass. I don't know if this was an experiment or true to original. There is a beautiful tree just behind it. Really worth a visit.

Log Text: Not sure this is the right monument, but it looked like a runddysse to me, and it was on about the right place. There are a lot of stones in the wood and there are surely more monuments to be found if you start looking for it. To get there, take the footpath from Knudsskov parking place and walk for a quarter of an hour. The site is in a dip on your right hand (north side).

Log Text: The shipsetting itself is ruinous, but the full landscape is really fascinating here. A walk to the Ravnshøj on the other side of the brook will reveal this (see pictures). You really wonder if the strangely shaped Hestebjerg was the place where it all started.

From Roskilde take road 14 to Ringsted and immediately turn right in the direction of Ledreborg. After about 6 kms turn right in the direction of Gammel Lejre and Lejre Forsøgscenter. Park at the center and enjoy your walk.

Log Text: Øm sweet Øm (free after Kraftwerk). Very well preserved passage grave. From road 14 Roskilde to Ringsted turn right in the direction of Øm. The monument is signposted from there. It has a large parking place. At the parking place you will find a leftover from an archeological experiment that investigated how the the capstones could have been placed. On the left side there is a footpath that brings you to the passage grave.

From the info panel:

One autumn day in 1932, the sons from Øm Abbey Farm were sent into the field to dig potatoes. In their lunch break, they sat themselves down to enjoy their packed lunch on the raised mound by the field overlooking Ledreborg's forest. Quite by chance they discovered a hole in the top of the mound. They dropped a stone into the hole and there was a hollow CLONG - there was a tomb in the mound! On their next day off they looked for the entrance of the tomb and they entered the tomb chamber by removing the inner capstone over the chamber passage. Their efforts did not bring them any great riches however. They "only" found flint tools, a clay vessel as well as bone and amber beads, which lay among piles of bones from generations of people buried in the Neolithic period.

In the Neolithic period the 6.8 meter long, narrow chamber in Øm passage grave was completely covered over. From the outside only a small access opening a the foot of the mound was visisble.

The finds of bronze objects in the chamber and in urns buried on the outer side of the mound show that Øm passage grave was reused as a burial place right up to the Bronze Age around 700 BC - i.e. around 2400 years after the grave was constructed by Neolithic farmers.
