Bronze Age burial mound in Leistrup Forest

Highlight • Historical Site

A stone mound grave lines the path through the Leistrup Forest. A large information board reports on a well-preserved relic from the Bronze Age, i.e. from around 1500 BC.

Sacrificial stones in Leistrup Forest

Highlight • Natural Monument
