Log Text: When approaching this site from Allerød via the woods it's a magnificent sight to spot from the woods. This Long Barrow was excavated by the last of the totalitarian Danish Kings and the last successor of the old Oldenburger Royal Line.
The mother to King Frederk VII was the Duchess Charlotte Frederica of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. She had an affair with the French singer and compositor Edouard Du Poy. For this reason, her husband, the King Christian VIII, divorced her in 1810 and prohibited her to see her son again. The next many years of his mothers life she was kept prisoner at a Palace in Horsens where a tiny court were held for her, and where she had various affairs with local officers. In 1830, Charlotte Frederica was allowed to go in exile in Italy, living then in Rome. She would later convert to the Catholic persuation. Charlotte Frederica died in 1840. Her earthly remains are nowadays in the Vatican.
Even if King Frederik VII didn't have contact with his mother, he also had several affairs in his life. The greatest love of his life was the commoner and former ballet dancer, Louise Rasmussen that was made Countess and given the name Louise Danner. This relationship seems to have been happy although it aroused great social indignation among the nobility and the bourgeoisie. Countess Danner, who was denounced a vulgar gold-digger by her enemies, but a doughty and unaffected “daughter of the people” by her admirers, seems to have had a stabilizing effect on the King. She also worked at maintaining his popularity by letting him “meet the people” of the provinces.
When excavating the magnificent "Dæmpegårdsdysse" he made or had made two pieces of long lasting grafitties. One with this own name and the date 30-5 1860, and the other in the form of the letters L D (Louise Danner).

Log Text: This, Møllehøjen is similar to Stuehøj in ØlsTykke, but it isn't as well trimmed and conserved as Stoehøj is. I didn't enter the chamber because I wasn't dressed to that.

Log Text: Some time ago I spotted this Barrow from a train, and today the exactly reverse happened, because standing at the barrow I spotted lots, and lots of trains passing very close and at high speed. Poor Chief Longlegged Reese won't have much peace here at his restingplace.
