Log Text: Signposted from road 323 Orbaek - Ringe. Small parking place available. Impressive ruins, although far from prehistoric. The footpath giving a good view over the Voldsted (not the access path) was completely destroyed by woodmen.

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.

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: To be honest, more impressed by the tree closeby than by the monument itself. But not a bad place.
The dolmen was excavated by archaeologists. It contained grave goods from a burial of the early Neolithic period, approximately 3500 BC. In the mound above the chamber there were cremation graves from the latest bronze age.

Log Text: This site could be easily reached in July 2015. On road 305 from Lindelse to Humble there is a large signposted parking place now in the village of Kædeby. From there it is a short walk of around 200 meters to the place. You get a lovely overview before actually arriving.
The path mentioned by DrewParsons does not exist anymore (and is not necessary now).
This is really a great site, one of the best on Langeland. Well preserved and with lovely views over the landscape. You can see very clearly the relationship with church mound of Humble.

Log Text: This site was a great disappointment in July 2015. It was fully overgrown and badly maintained. The view over Nørreballe Nor is terrific, the site itself needs a make-over.

Log Text: This site was accessible in July 2015, even when crops were growing. There is a heritage sign. No parking place at hand, but indeed 100 meters south on the 305 road there is one.
Not a spectacular site, but somehow I liked its simplicity and its location.

Log Text: On road 305 from Rudkøbing to Lindelse about 500 meters after the road to Herslev, on the right side. No parking place and it is rightout dangerous to park here. There is a parking place just after the Herslev road on the right side.
It is marked by a small post (so it was repaired after DrewParsons visit), you have to cross the field to get to the monument itself.
In July 2015 this site was overgrown. It was possible to enter the chamber, but at the cost of a t-shirt ripped in pieces by resisting vegetation. The site was not really worth a t-shirt...

Log Text: On the 305 road Rudkøbing - Lindelse after about 6 km at your left. if you see the road to Herslev you have just overshot by 500 meters. As the Danish generally are very friendly you can no doubt park at the garden center nearby. In July 2015 there was no obvious path to the dolmens.

Log Text: Superb site, one of the best in Langeland. The approach as described by Drew Parsons is lovely as the entrance can be seen from afar.
Inside there are some lintels at the left side, probably to support the structure. I guess they are modern?

Log Text: On road 305 travel 7 km north of Tranekær. Turn right (very sharp bend) in Tressebølle and then left. At the edge of the wood there is a heritage sign. It's a short walk from here. No parking place, but it is a quiet road.
In July 2015 the site was somewhat overgrown, but still enjoyable. There are a plenty of stones to be seen.
