Trehøje

Three burial mounds stand at 127 meters above sea level, offering views of the east coast of Jutland and islands of Samsø, Tunø, and Hjelm.

The Bronze Age burial mounds contain approximately 650,000 pieces of grass turf each, representing a period when 100 to 150 mounds were built annually in Denmark.

The curved fields surrounding the mounds display medieval farming techniques where furrows were directed toward field centers to improve water drainage.

Visitors can access the site through two marked hiking trails from the parking area: a 2-kilometer northern route and a 5-kilometer southern path.

Grazing animals maintain the nutrient-poor landscape around the mounds, creating conditions similar to post-ice age tundra environments that support rare Danish insects.
