Hohøj, Bronze Age burial mound near Mariager, Denmark.

The circular burial mound measures 72 meters in diameter and stands 12 meters tall at an elevation of 110 meters above sea level.

Archaeological studies from the 1990s confirmed the burial mound's construction period between 1410 and 1310 BCE during the Early Bronze Age period.

The site hosted constitutional meetings from 1913 onwards, with prominent speakers including Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning in 1931 and 1932.

Located 1.5 kilometers from Mariager's center, visitors can access exhibition panels at Det Røde Hus explaining the burial mound's excavations.

Before the surrounding forest growth, observers could spot 75 church towers from the mound's summit, including Viborg Cathedral's distant spire.
