Local tips
- No on-site signage or interpretation is present, so read up on Bronze Age barrows before visiting or download a guide.
- Wear sturdy shoes, as the grassy slopes can be slippery when damp or after rain.
- The site has no visitor amenities; bring water and any supplies you may need.
- Best experienced at sunrise or sunset when light and shadows accentuate the contours of the mound.
Getting There
-
Driving
From central Lolland-Falster, Glentehøj is reachable in about 30–40 minutes by car. The journey takes you through sweeping fields and small villages, with parking available along the edge of open farmland. Parking is generally free, but spaces are limited on small country lanes, particularly during wet weather.
-
Public Transport
Regional buses from the main town hubs, such as Maribo or Nakskov, run towards the Torrig area. Expect a ride of 40–50 minutes, including one transfer at a local village interchange. From the nearest bus stop, it’s an easy 15–20-minute walk across countryside lanes to the barrow. Standard adult bus fare ranges from 30 to 45 DKK one way. Prepare for limited schedules on weekends.
-
Cycling
Cycling from larger villages or Lolland’s scenic bike trails, Glentehøj is a popular detour for those seeking rural tranquility. The ride winds past classic half-timbered farmhouses and open meadows. The final approach is on minor lanes with minimal traffic. There are no designated bike racks, so bring a lock and secure your bike at the field edge.
