Local tips
- Visit during autumn or winter to see the fallow deer most actively foraging and gathering in the forest. Spring and summer offer quieter conditions for contemplative walks.
- Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip, as the terrain is hilly and can be muddy, especially after rain. The marked path is well-maintained but uneven in places.
- Start your visit at the Forest House on Fladbrovej to use facilities and gather information about current conditions. It opens at 9 am and closes at 3 pm daily.
- Combine your visit with exploration of the broader Fladbro Skov forest network and the historic Fladbro Kro inn (approximately 400 years old) located nearby.
- Bring binoculars for better wildlife observation and a camera for capturing both the ancient mound and the deer in their natural habitat.

A Window into Denmark's Prehistoric Past
Gravhøjen i Fladbro Dyrehave is an ancient burial mound dating back to the Stone Age, representing thousands of years of Danish cultural heritage. Located within the southern reaches of Fladbro Skov, this archaeological monument stands as a tangible link to the earliest inhabitants of the region. The mound's presence in the landscape speaks to the long human occupation of this area, offering visitors a direct connection to prehistoric times and the people who shaped Denmark's ancient history.The Deer Forest Setting
The gravhøj is situated within Randers Dyrehave, a 14-hectare woodland sanctuary established in 1994 as a semi-natural habitat for fallow deer. The deer forest occupies the southern portion of Fladbro Skov, separated from the main forest by Fladbrovej road. The landscape here is characterized by a mix of woodland and open meadow, creating an ideal environment for observing the resident deer population. The forest is currently undergoing ecological transformation, shifting from dense beech woodland toward a more open oak-mixed forest to enhance biodiversity and create better conditions for both wildlife and visitors.Exploring the Woodland Path
Visitors can experience the gravhøj and surrounding deer forest via a dedicated walking route that winds through the area. A marked 5.7-kilometre path, established by the Danish Heart Association in 1997, passes through the deer forest and connects with trails throughout Fladbro Skov. The terrain is hilly and moderately challenging, offering an engaging woodland walk with opportunities to spot fallow deer at various points along the route. The path begins at the corner of Fladbrovej and Skovboulevarden, providing easy access to the wider forest network.Natural Rhythms and Wildlife Observation
The deer population in Randers Dyrehave is particularly active during autumn and winter months, when animals gather to forage and find food. Visitors can observe the deer from designated areas within the dyrehave or from the western trail that runs alongside the forest. The combination of archaeological interest and wildlife viewing creates a multifaceted experience, where history and nature coexist. The forest's mixed composition of coniferous and deciduous trees provides year-round interest, with changing seasons offering different perspectives on both the landscape and the ancient monument.Access and Practical Considerations
The gravhøj is accessible via the forest path system, though the terrain is not recommended for people with mobility difficulties. Dogs are not permitted within the deer forest itself, as they may disturb the resident animals. The Forest House (Skovhuset) on Fladbrovej provides facilities including public restrooms and a garden area, open from 9 am to 3 pm, making it a convenient stop before or after exploring the gravhøj. The location is situated approximately 6 kilometres west of Randers town centre, nestled between the Nørreå and Gudenå rivers.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
