How we managed to miss this one I don't know, but remember this is Denmark: at that parking place you will see one information sign, from there feel free to find the way yourself, but no further help will be given. Might have been distracted by the Dodekaliten...

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.

From the park place go south for about 500m. Then go left at a fork in the road, you will find the dolmen on your left side in the woods.

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.

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.

From the car park walk south for a few 100 meters, then turn left. The monument is now on your left side.

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: 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.
