Klekkende Høj

The double entrance to Klekkende Høj.

Viewed from the car park, this neolithic tumulus is unusual for its terraced lower levels. Walk 300m through the cornfield and you'll find that there's a double-holed entry into two passageways. They’re barely 1m high, but if you can overcome claustrophobia and crawl through the northern one, you’ll be rewarded with a thrilling sight: behind a glass screen within is a burial chamber complete with grave goods dating back 5000-plus years. Sometimes it’s even lit faintly – but bring a flashlight just in case.

Access is subject to an ongoing fight with the farmer who owns the surrounding field and periodically plows up the path.
