Lokalt navn er: Ingers høj
Et gammelt sagn om højen kan læses her: http://www.vejenkunstmuseum.dk/Dansk/troldekort/frederiksborg-amt.htm#ingers hoj

Translation: Tha local name is: Inger high
An old legend about the mound can be read here:

(Auto translation:) Nejede Vesterskov
About 7 km west of Hillerod

Inger High
Close by Arresø find Ingers High, which has always been the home of trolls. People have tried to destroy the mound for the trolls in the area was bad and punished often people very hard. For these trolls were broke sacred. You might like to eat it, but you would not dare to say anything bad about bread. But it did Inger:

She was a beautiful girl and laid much emphasis on her appearance. Therefore, she did not like being dirty. One morning she was on the way to the milking stall with his picnic basket and passed the mound. Because of rain was on the path got a big mud puddle, which she had to cross. She would not have mud on his shoes and took up a piece of bread from the basket. It threw her in the mud and put her foot on it so as not to get dirty. As she touched the bread, the ground opened beneath her, and she sank into the ogre mound in the underworld. She never returned. This allowed the mound name Ingers High.

Other stories also tells how the trolls in Nejede Vesterskov tried to punish or tease people: Once there was a girl ran up on Ingers High to look for his missing cow. Also she sank suddenly into the mound. Luckily she had just been to the altar in the church, and therefore they could subterranean forces not prevail against her. Trolls had disappointed closing both the cow and the girl again.

Often held trolls party, whereby the mound stood four gleaming piles. Getting people past, one might risk being offered a troll drink, but people were well aware that it was too strong for humans. Just a few drops of a drink, could burn the hairs of a horse.

An old woman was once gone into the forest to collect firewood. She knew the forest and out, for she had always lived near the forest. Suddenly a big troll up in front of her, and she was terrified. He was taller and wider than normal trolls in the area, and she feared that he would tease. He did also. Troll got the wife to lose its sense of direction, and before long she was lost. She walked around for a long time, but at last she remembered how she had to solve his problem. When you're lost, always turn his shirt inside out - so you should probably find homes.
