Better known as Mor Gribs Hule (Mother Grib's Cave). It is nicely restored but the capstone is missing.

From Hillerød take road 251 to Helsinge. After about 3 km there is a parking place on your left. The monument is on the other side of the road.

The passage grave was protected from 1877, but then the capstones above the chamber and the passage were already gone. Restauration work in 1990 uncovered a stone tiling in the floor.

It's visible from outer space that the original coordinates are some 25 meters off. Some interplanetary aliens are sitting on the moon looking down at this open passage grave and wonder why the coordinates not right.

55.980117 12.289333 is much better and will probably stop the moon aliens laughter ;)
