Log Text: Now, this is what you really call a long barrow. What a giant! Signposted from road 323 from Orbaek to Ringe. Lots of parking space.
It is 168 metres long. One burial chamber is visible, the capstone is missing. The dolmen was constructed as a burial place for the leaders of society in the early neolithic, 3500-3100 BC.

Log Text: Now, this is a real megalithic treat. There are 5 chambers on this monument. Four are more or less in line, the eastern one is located to the north of that line.
Easy to find on road 323 from Orbaek to Ringe. You can park your car on the side of the road.

Martofte Estershøj Jættestue submitted by holger_rix on 3rd Aug 2011. Jættestue (Passage Grave) near Odense
Round Barrow with enclosed Passage Grave on a hilltop near the baltic coastline.
The tomb was excavated in 1880.
They found remains of 10 skeletons, especially the heads, probably everyone in the
chamber in a sitting position.

Log Text: On road 315 from Kerteminde to Fyns Hoved turn right in Martofte into the Søvej. After 300 meter the road bends to the right. On the left side you will find a destroyed information board and a unpaved road. No real parking place. Walk a hundred meters, then turn right at a still existing sign. After 200 meters the site is on your left, across the fields.
Not easy to reach in the summer through the fields, a bit overgrown. You would expect that this Jaettestue and Marhøj one would be intervisible, but buildings and trees seem to be in the way.

Mårhøj Jættestue submitted by holger_rix on 2nd Aug 2011. One of the finest examples of the well preserved danish passage graves.
The biggest tomb of the island Fyn.
The beautiful passage grave Mårhøj lies on a natural hill and
therefore looks extra impressive. The 10 m long and about 2 m wide tomb
was excavated in 1868 by the local farm owner Sun.
He found some human bones and an amber bead as the only
remains of Neolithic burials.
In the corridor stood an urn with burnt bones, but it must have been
from the Late Bronze Age or per...

Log Text: Easy to find, signposted from road 315 Kerteminde to Fyns Hoved. Visible from that road too. Good parking places available. Marvellous site, well worth a detour. After leaving the 315 be sure to look also at the right side. You can clearly see the Esterhøj Jaettestue there (but not from the parking place). Weird how high the entrance is.

Log Text: From road 277 in Kirke Helsinge follow Dalby. In Dalby don't turn left to Mullerup Strand, but immediately after that park at the left side before a farm. After a short walk you will see two tombs. The front one (Vagthøj) does not have an entrance, the back one does. Beautiful view from the top, you can see other barrows nearby.

Log Text: Better known as the Kellerøddysse and as such signposted. On road 157 Sorø to Skælskør turn left just after Lynge-Eskilstrup on the Brunemosevej. Signposted from there. There is a parking place, a short walk through the fields will lead you to the monument.
It is the largest long barrow of Sealand. Now it is covered by trees, but this was not the case in prehistoric times. There is one burial chamber visible at the end of the barrow, there might have been more.

Log Text: Site on private ground, but accessible using a bypass just outside the farm. On road 157 Sorø to Skælskør turn left just after the village of Lynge-Eskilstrup on the Brunemosevej. Pass the Kellerøddysse sign. From there it is the fourth farm on your right. Just after the official entrance there is a small path which leads you to the mound in a private garden. Beware of vicious horses, luckily separated from you by a wire fence.
I think the drawing placed here by Fortidsminder is the Kellerøddysse, not this one.

Log Text: On road 239 Sorø to Næstved turn right after 6 km in the direction on Lynge (follow cycling route N6). After 3 km you enter a wood. In the wood take the road left to Munkedamm (Munkedammsvej) and park immediately. There is a parking place although there is no P sign. Take leaflet from a box under an information panel. You will find six megalithic sites here during a walk of around 2,5 km.
This is the most impressive one, it is the third longest (80m) long barrow of Sealand. And surprising enough it is quite hard to find. From the parking place walk 500m south, then go right following the path down into a valley. After 200m the monument is on your right in the woods, but it is hard to see (in summer at least). If you can't see it walk on until a crossing, turn right and turn right after 25m again. Walk from there a few 10 meters to the monument.
It is a lovely one, secluded in the woods.

It might be an interesting monument, but it was sadly overgrown when we visited it.

The capstone is pretty impressive and enough of the surrounding stones remain to be seen, so all in all this is a nice barrow. It is however quite difficult to photograph it to give an impression. The ground was pretty soaked when we visited, so beware of where you put your feet...

Log Text: Known as Gulager in Julian Cope's Megalithic European. On road 239 Sorø to Næstved turn left after around 3 km. It is signposted there as a ringdysse. You will find it after 800 meter on the right side opposite a farm.
In july 2015 this site was disappointing as it was almost fully overgrown. Still, it was easy to see this was a long barrow, not a round barrow.

Log Text: This monument is not easy to find as it is not signposted, but it is really worth a quest. On the road from Nykøbing to Egebjerg, pass through Egebjerg in the direction of Frenderup. Go right in the direction of Ostrup. Follow the road into a left sharp bend, then turn right into the Birketvej. After 100m you will find a parking place, park here. Follow the road on foot into the wood past a crossing. About 300 meters after the crossing there is a green path to your right into the wood (if you leave the wood then you have gone too far). Take this path, after 100m the monument is on your left side.
If you can't find it, ask your way around. Local people were extremely helpful here.
