Glentehøj: Echoes of the Bronze Age on Rural Lolland
Experience the majestic solitude of Glentehøj, a Bronze Age burial mound offering panoramic views and ancient mysteries amid the tranquil fields of rural Lolland.
Glentehøj is a striking Bronze Age burial mound set amid the rolling farmlands of northern Lolland. Dating back over 3000 years, this ancient monument stands as one of Denmark’s best-preserved burial mounds. Visitors can experience the calm of the countryside while encountering the tangible legacy of early Scandinavian culture. Its elevated form and grassy dome, rising significantly above the landscape, offer both sweeping views and evocative glimpses into prehistory.
A brief summary to Lupinmark
- Askøvej 21, Søllested, 4920, DK
Local tips
- There is no visitor center or on-site staff, so come prepared with background reading if you want interpretive context.
- Wear sturdy shoes—the mound’s slope can be grassy and slippery in wet weather.
- Check local bus schedules in advance, as public transport service is infrequent outside of peak hours.
- Bring binoculars for birdwatching; the rural area is excellent for spotting raptors and songbirds.
- As there are no facilities nearby, pack water and snacks for your visit.
Getting There
-
Driving
Glentehøj sits in a rural area outside Torrig on Lolland. From the larger towns on the island, the journey leads across open fields and past rolling farmland, eventually approaching the low rise topped with the mound. Ample parking is usually available on quiet country lanes beside farmland, free of charge. There are no tolls on local roads. Note that parking right beside the mound is limited and the area is signposted only at local level.
-
Public Transport
Buses occasionally serve the Torrig-Lolland area, connecting with transport hubs in Nakskov and Maribo. After alighting at the nearest stop in Torrig, it’s a scenic walk of roughly 10–20 minutes along quiet rural paths, with the mound visible as a grassy rise on the horizon. Standard bus fares within Lolland average 24–40 DKK for a single adult ticket. Schedules can be infrequent, especially on weekends, so plan ahead.
-
Cycling
The gentle terrain and country lanes surrounding Glentehøj make it accessible by bicycle from nearby towns like Nakskov or Maribo. Expect a relaxed pedal through fields and patchwork villages, taking 30–60 minutes from most island hubs. No dedicated bike facilities exist at the site, but bikes can be left at the field-edge. There are no costs apart from bicycle rental if needed.
