Sacrificial stones in Leistrup Forest

Highlight • Natural Monument

Striking: two extraordinarily large stones. So-called sacrificial stones, specially shaped and processed. Nothing exactly is not known. Wikipedia speaks of a cultic background and of "superstitious practices of the rural population".

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.
