Karskov Langdysse

Trip No.100 Entry No.99 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Long Barrow Country: Denmark (Fyn, Langeland and Islands)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4

Log Text: On road 305 travel 7 km north of Tranekær. Turn right (very sharp bend) in Tressebølle and then left. At the edge of the wood there is a heritage sign. It's a short walk from here. No parking place, but it is a quiet road.

In July 2015 the site was somewhat overgrown, but still enjoyable. There are a plenty of stones to be seen.

Højby Toftebjerg Langdysse

Trip No.100 Entry No.57 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Long Barrow Country: Denmark (Sjælland)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4

Log Text: From Højby take the road to Stenstrup. Just outside Højby take the small road called Toftebjergvej. You will see a row of trees at the top of the hill, the monument is there. No real parking place but the road is very quiet.

Hulbjerg Jættestue

Trip No.100 Entry No.96 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Passage Grave Country: Denmark (Fyn, Langeland and Islands)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 5

Log Text: Superb site, one of the best in Langeland. The approach as described by Drew Parsons is lovely as the entrance can be seen from afar.

Inside there are some lintels at the left side, probably to support the structure. I guess they are modern?

Hothers Høj

Trip No.100 Entry No.35 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Round Barrow(s) Country: Denmark (Sjælland)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 5

Log Text: On road 209 from Faxe to Køge in the village of Hårlev near the church on the west (left) side of the road. Parking places available.

Hesselbjerg Langdysse

Trip No.100 Entry No.92 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Long Barrow Country: Denmark (Fyn, Langeland and Islands)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 2 Access 5

Log Text: This site was a great disappointment in July 2015. It was fully overgrown and badly maintained. The view over Nørreballe Nor is terrific, the site itself needs a make-over.

Herslev Kumlehøj Dysser

Trip No.100 Entry No.95 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Long Barrow Country: Denmark (Fyn, Langeland and Islands)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3

Log Text: On the 305 road Rudkøbing - Lindelse after about 6 km at your left. if you see the road to Herslev you have just overshot by 500 meters. 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.

Herslev Dyssekammer

Trip No.100 Entry No.93 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen Country: Denmark (Fyn, Langeland and Islands)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4

Log Text: This site was accessible in July 2015, even when crops were growing. There is a heritage sign. No parking place at hand, but indeed 100 meters south on the 305 road there is one.

Not a spectacular site, but somehow I liked its simplicity and its location.

Herslev Annemosehøj Jættestue

Trip No.100 Entry No.94 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Passage Grave Country: Denmark (Fyn, Langeland and Islands)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 2 Access 4

Log Text: On road 305 from Rudkøbing to Lindelse about 500 meters after the road to Herslev, on the right side. No parking place and it is rightout dangerous to park here. There is a parking place just after the Herslev road on the right side.

It is marked by a small post (so it was repaired after DrewParsons visit), you have to cross the field to get to the monument itself.

In July 2015 this site was overgrown. It was possible to enter the chamber, but at the cost of a t-shirt ripped in pieces by resisting vegetation. The site was not really worth a t-shirt...

Harreskov Hørgen

Trip No.100 Entry No.44 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue Country: Denmark (Hovedstaden)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 2 Access 4

Log Text: Intriguing site, but there is not really something to see here. My wife still has fits of laughter when she remembers looking for the site. It's basically a small heap of small stones and it is a bit of a mystery how they know it is Neolithic. But if it is, then it is something I have never seen before.

Difficult to find in the suburbs of Copenhagen. From N6 take road 211 to Stenløse and continue on this road to Ballerup. There turn left to Værløse. In Værløse turn right before the railway and follow directions to Hareskovby. You will enter a wood. At the end of it you will find a parking place on your left. Park there and take a leaflet. Follow a path parallel to the road in the direction you came from. After 300 meter you will see the info panel and then you realise you are looking at a monument.

Hamlets Grav Langdysse

Trip No.100 Entry No.60 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Long Barrow Country: Denmark (Sjælland)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 3

Log Text: This monument is not easy to find as it is not signposted, but it is really worth a quest. On the road from Nykøbing to Egebjerg, pass through Egebjerg in the direction of Frenderup. Go right in the direction of Ostrup. Follow the road into a left sharp bend, then turn right into the Birketvej. After 100m you will find a parking place, park here. Follow the road on foot into the wood past a crossing. About 300 meters after the crossing there is a green path to your right into the wood (if you leave the wood then you have gone too far). Take this path, after 100m the monument is on your left side.

If you can't find it, ask your way around. Local people were extremely helpful here.

Log Text: From Nykøbing Falster follow road 271 to Stubbekøbing. In Horreby turn right to Karleby, in Karleby turn left to Meelse, in Meelse turn right to Bregninge. Do not follow the road to Halskov, instead drive through Bregninge and follow signs to Halskov Vænge. Park there and walk amongst the monuments.

Log Text: Well signposted, ample parking place, and while you are at it, visit the Fanefjord church as well.

Very impressive site.

Grønnæssegård Karlsstenen

Trip No.100 Entry No.55 Date Added: 25th Jun 2016
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen Country: Denmark (Hovedstaden)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jul 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3

Log Text: Impressive stones on a nice location. We cycled from the Sølager camping site (near the Kulhuse ferry) along the Grønnehavevej, which makes a nice quiet short 2 km tour. Would not recommend doing this by car though. Grønnæssegård is indeed privately owned, but they have signposted a route to the monument.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen Country: Denmark (Hovedstaden)
Visited: Couldn't find on 14th Jul 2015

Log Text: Should be findable from Gribskov parking place but no such luck...
