As the Danish generally are very friendly you can no doubt park at the garden center nearby. In July 2015 there was no obvious path to the dolmens.

The 23 m. long (NNW-SSE) and 11 meter wide site is what is left of the original and longer site.
The rand stones has disappeared and much of the site has been eaten by the plough.
But never the less this site is still marvelous with its two pear shaped dolmen chambers and the large top stones.
The northern chamber is 4.5 x 2 m., the southern chamber is 3 x 2 meter with a 2 meter long passage way where the threshing stone still is preserved.
This Longbarrow hasn't been excavated.
