Bjørnshøje (Bronze Age Grave Mounds)
![]() | Bjørnshøje Sallingsund 7870 Roslev |
An impressive concentration of bronze age burial mounds on both sides of Kildeborgvej.
A very well preserved group of large, beautiful mounds predominantly covered with heather. Only a few of the mounds in this group are ploughed over. Late bronze age graves have been found in some of the mounds.
Due east of Bjørnshøje burial mounds lies the great Kongehøj/Kings mound (40m above sea level)
- an unusually beautiful and well preserved grave mound with a good landscape effect and an extensive view.
Bredhøj
![]() | Bredhøj Nautrup 7870 Roslev |
The Bredhøj mound is a large flat "dance hill" situated close to the road Nautrupvej.
Bredhøj belongs to a rare group of circular mounds that are completely level on the top. Mounds with this type of shape are mainly found in Jutland and date back to the Bronze Age.
The Bredhøj mound measures approx. 40 m in diameter but is only 1½ m above the surrounding terrain.
The large flat mounds are also called "dance hills". One theory is that on these mounds cult scenes were played out, as it is known from the fascinating picture-world of Bronze age rock engravings.
Frue Kirke (Church Ruin)
![]() | Frue Kirke (church ruin) Kappeldal, Harre 7870 Roslev |
The remnants of Vor Frue Kirke (Our Lady Church) in Kapeldal are found by taking route A26 by Harre, along Harrebjergvej where the road to the ruin is signposted.
There are traces of a square building. The church ruin was examined by archaeologists in 1929. It is 21 metres long and consisted of nave and chancel, built in the Romanesque period.
Vor Frue Kirke was probably used as a road chapel by the travellers passing by.
Parking at Harrebjergvej - signposting to the ruin.
The Passage Grave at Ginnerup
![]() | Jættestuen i Ginnerup Plantage Ginnerupvej 7860 Spøttrup |
This is Salling's best preserved gallery grave. The grave was established in the stone age, approx. 5000 years ago. In 1910, it was examined and restored, so now it is possible for a person to crawl inside it - if you dare!
From the parking lot by the road, a marked path leads to the grave.
Vikinge-nauster (Viking Boat Houses)
![]() | Vikinge-nauster (boat house) Harrebjerg 7870 Roslev |
Naust is a word of Old Norse origin, meaning a boat house, where ships stand in the wintertime. The nausts date back to the viking age or the early mediaeval times.
They appear as ½ metre high and 28 metres long banks with the opening facing the fjord. It is assumed that the ship was pulled ashore between the banks by means of drawplate holes.
Here it was supported by poles and covered by boards, resting partly on the ship and partly on the banks. During winter the ship was thus protected against wind and weather.
