The monument is easy to reach by bus. Bus stop (Royal Hill) is right on the street. Further north there is a parking lot for people arriving by car.

"In the municipality a battle between Viking kings is said to have taken place in the year 872. As a result, many Hünen- and burial mounds are still found today in Selk., Under the approximately 42 m [2] high royal hill Sigurd should have been buried.

This royal hill at the entrance to Selk is also a memorial to the fallen Austrian soldiers in the German-Danish War of 1864. In and around Selk are also scattered in the fields and along the paths graves of fallen soldiers from Austria, Prussia and Denmark. " [from: Wikipedia on 02.04.2018]

Even if you are not interested in history, it is worth the "climb", because you have a nice view from above.
