Local tips
- Bring a flashlight or use your phone’s torch as the burial chamber interior is very dark, especially on cloudy days.
- The ground around the tomb can be muddy in wet weather, so sturdy footwear is recommended.
- Combine the visit with a walk along the park’s coastal trails for sweeping views and varied wildlife.
- Be mindful of low ceilings and uneven stones when entering or inside the chamber—taller visitors should take care.
Getting There
-
Walking
Visitors can start from Kalundborg’s town center, making their way towards the prominent natural reserve on the Røsnæs peninsula. Once at the park’s edge, look for information boards and a visible grassy mound near the coastal path—a distinctive landmark in a broad, open field. The walk is scenic but can be uneven, typically 60–90 minutes each way, and entrance to the chamber is free. Trail surfaces vary, with some areas damp after rain.
-
Car
A drive from central Kalundborg out to the peninsula’s nature reserve brings visitors close to the jættestue, with parking available in a marked area nearby (typically free). From the parking lot, the mound is a short stroll away, easily visible against the open grassland. Limited spaces and soft ground are possible in winter, so take care in wet conditions.
-
Public Transport
Regional buses toward Røsnæs Strandpark depart from Kalundborg station, taking about 15–25 minutes depending on the route. A standard adult ticket is typically DKK 24–30 one way. From the bus stop near the reserve, an easy walk (10–20 minutes) through the coastal parklands leads to the jættestue’s mound, crossing open fields dotted with informational posts.
-
Taxi
A short taxi ride from Kalundborg’s center to Røsnæs Strandpark takes around 10–15 minutes, with fares usually ranging from DKK 120–160 depending on time of day and traffic. Taxis can drop visitors at the main access point, from which it’s a gentle walk to the burial mound.
