Log Text: Now, this is what you really call a long barrow. What a giant! Signposted from road 323 from Orbaek to Ringe. Lots of parking space.
It is 168 metres long. One burial chamber is visible, the capstone is missing. The dolmen was constructed as a burial place for the leaders of society in the early neolithic, 3500-3100 BC.

Log Text: To be honest, more impressed by the tree closeby than by the monument itself. But not a bad place.
The dolmen was excavated by archaeologists. It contained grave goods from a burial of the early Neolithic period, approximately 3500 BC. In the mound above the chamber there were cremation graves from the latest bronze age.

Log Text: Lovely place! They were building a modern reconstruction of a Viking ship at the time of our visit. Be sure to visit the mound itself, you have to leave the museum through a not too obvious backdoor...

Log Text: On road 201 from Blovstrød to Hillerød turn right to Kirkelte. Turn first right again on unpaved road called Frederik 7 vej. There is a big parking place on your right. Walk along the unpaved road for about 600 meters then turn right over a small bridge. You will find the monument after 100 meters on your right.

Log Text: Nice location in the woods on its own mound.
On the road from Nykøbing to Egebjerg, pass through Egebjerg, then turn left into Bråde. Ignore signs to Kongsøre Næbe, turn right into Sandskredsvej. After you enter the wood it is around 300 meters to your left. No real parking place here, but it is a very quiet road.

Log Text: On road 289 from Birket to Horslunde follow signposts to Kong Svends Høj. Parking is available but the site is busy. Brilliantly restored long barrow, really worth a visit. The surrounding landscape might not have been changed too much from the prehistoric past.

Log Text: This site could be easily reached in July 2015. On road 305 from Lindelse to Humble there is a large signposted parking place now in the village of Kædeby. From there it is a short walk of around 200 meters to the place. You get a lovely overview before actually arriving.
The path mentioned by DrewParsons does not exist anymore (and is not necessary now).
This is really a great site, one of the best on Langeland. Well preserved and with lovely views over the landscape. You can see very clearly the relationship with church mound of Humble.

Log Text: This site was a disappointment in July 2015. I was overgrown and as the stones are very low, you really could not see anything. If the information panel had not been there, I might have overlooked it.

Log Text: Known as Gulager in Julian Cope's Megalithic European. On road 239 Sorø to Næstved turn left after around 3 km. It is signposted there as a ringdysse. You will find it after 800 meter on the right side opposite a farm.
In july 2015 this site was disappointing as it was almost fully overgrown. Still, it was easy to see this was a long barrow, not a round barrow.

Knudsskov Runddysse submitted by combuijs on 22nd Dec 2015. 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.
