We now have reached the time of the year where the green is so hefty that it almost hides the otherwise large stones. When I arrived I disturbed the owner in his work with cutting down the green.

Log Text: When I visited in July 2015 this site was disappointing. It was completely overgrown. It is easy to find though. From Viby / Birkede take road to Hegnede. Upon entering the wood (Klosterskov) immediately turn right on unpaved road and park. The monument is on your right now. In my case only the capstone could be seen from the road.

Log Text: Intriguing site, but there is not really something to see here. My wife still has fits of laughter when she remembers looking for the site. It's basically a small heap of small stones and it is a bit of a mystery how they know it is Neolithic. But if it is, then it is something I have never seen before.
Difficult to find in the suburbs of Copenhagen. From N6 take road 211 to Stenløse and continue on this road to Ballerup. There turn left to Værløse. In Værløse turn right before the railway and follow directions to Hareskovby. You will enter a wood. At the end of it you will find a parking place on your left. Park there and take a leaflet. Follow a path parallel to the road in the direction you came from. After 300 meter you will see the info panel and then you realise you are looking at a monument.

A magnificent Long Barrow to spot and visit.

Log Text: On road 201 from Blovstrød to Hillerød turn right to Kirkelte. Turn first right again on unpaved road called Frederik 7 vej. There is a big parking place on your right. Walk along the unpaved road for about 600 meters then turn right over a small bridge. You will find the monument after 100 meters on your right.

Log Text: Better known as Mor Gribs Hule (Mother Grib's Cave). It is nicely restored but the capstone is missing.
From Hillerød take road 251 to Helsinge. After about 3 km there is a parking place on your left. The monument is on the other side of the road.

Log Text: Welcome to megalithic wonderland! Make a nice tour through the woods and visit 7 long barrows!
From Helsinge take road 223 to Valby. Turn right in the direction of Helsinge camping. Just after the camping there is large parking place on your left. We have cycled from there to the monuments, but a walk is certainly feasible, it's about 2,5 km (one way...). Pick up a leaflet at the parking place (in our case they were out of stock though).
From the parking place turn left onto the forest road. Walk for over a kilometer until the road forks. The monument is now on your right.

Continue from Langdysse 6 on the right fork of the road. Turn left at split and then it is on your left side just before the road splits again. You won't miss anything if you miss it though...

Either continue from Langdysse 6 on the left fork or follow the right fork past Longdysses 5 and 7 and turn left at split in the road. The first one is faster, the second one takes you along other long barrows.

Log Text: Impressive stones on a nice location. We cycled from the Sølager camping site (near the Kulhuse ferry) along the Grønnehavevej, which makes a nice quiet short 2 km tour. Would not recommend doing this by car though. Grønnæssegård is indeed privately owned, but they have signposted a route to the monument.

Log Text: This is really known as the Troldstuerne and signposted and described as such. See also Julian Cope's Megalithic European.
Now, this is a lovely site. It is a double passage grave and the chambers share a wall. It is quite popular. It is near road 21 from Holbæk to Sjællands Odde and signposted from there. Good parking place available but it can be crowded.

Log Text: Lovely restored passage grave, easy to find, good parking place. From Nykøbing take the busy road to Sjællands Odde. Turn right just after the village of Nyrup on the Troldhøjvej. Don't drive too hard as you will easily overshoot this road.
The passage grave was built around 3200 BC and is the largest on the island of Zealand. It was first investigated in 1909 and it was excellently restored in 2003 by the National Museum of Denmark.

Log Text: Nice location in the woods on its own mound.
On the road from Nykøbing to Egebjerg, pass through Egebjerg, then turn left into Bråde. Ignore signs to Kongsøre Næbe, turn right into Sandskredsvej. After you enter the wood it is around 300 meters to your left. No real parking place here, but it is a very quiet road.
