combuijs visited on 15th Jul 2015 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 5 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.
