Log Text: 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.

Log Text: This is really known as the Troldstuerne and signposted and described as such. See also Julian Cope's Megalithic European.

Now, this is a lovely site. It is a double passage grave and the chambers share a wall. It is quite popular. It is near road 21 from Holbæk to Sjællands Odde and signposted from there. Good parking place available but it can be crowded.

Log Text: Not sure this is the right monument, but it looked like a runddysse to me, and it was on about the right place. There are a lot of stones in the wood and there are surely more monuments to be found if you start looking for it. To get there, take the footpath from Knudsskov parking place and walk for a quarter of an hour. The site is in a dip on your right hand (north side).

At the entrance of the wood there is a large private parking place (pay in a box before entering the place). This monument is on the near end of the parking place. It has been fully restored. On my visit the mound was paved with turfs of grass. I don't know if this was an experiment or true to original. There is a beautiful tree just behind it. Really worth a visit.
