Mysselhøj

Highlight • Historical Site

A burial site with a single oak tree. The burial mound has never been excavated. Therefore, precise dating is not possible. Experts assume that the tomb dates back to the Bronze Age.
From the height, you have a good view over the landscape, which was created by the last ice age.
