Esterhøj, Bronze Age summit in Odsherred, Denmark.

The Esterhøj summit rises 89 meters above sea level, offering extensive views across Sejerø Bay and the surrounding Danish countryside from its elevated position.

In 1920, five hundred local men and twenty-two horses moved a massive 25-ton stone over 2.5 kilometers through forest terrain to place it atop Esterhøj.

Local folklore speaks of a troll residing in Esterhøj who fled from church bells but left a treasure key hidden beneath a stone at Klint.

Visitors can reach the summit through a 150-meter marked path starting from the parking area at Høvevej 57, with informational signs along the route.

The summit features Denmark's second-largest commemorative stone, which was transported by 130 boys from Frederiksberg Municipal Sanatorium using a sled system.
