Kong Asgers Høj: A Neolithic Marvel
Explore Kong Asgers Høj, one of Denmark's largest Neolithic passage graves on the scenic island of Møn, and step back in time to discover ancient burial rituals.
Kong Asgers Høj, or King Asger's Mound, is one of Denmark's largest and most impressive passage graves, dating back to the Neolithic period (around 3200 BC). Located on the island of Møn, this historical landmark offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and burial rituals of early farming communities. The mound itself is a hemispherical grassy knoll, concealing a central chamber constructed from massive boulders, some weighing several tonnes. Visitors can enter the grave through a low, narrow passage, leading into a surprisingly spacious burial chamber. Exploring the interior requires a flashlight, as it's pitch dark, adding to the mystique and adventure. The site provides a tangible connection to Denmark's prehistoric past and is a must-see for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking a unique cultural experience. The surrounding landscape of rolling fields and meadows enhances the site's serene and timeless atmosphere, making it a memorable stop on any Møn itinerary.
