Danish History....a must see!
Fantastic place to visit and it's free! The burial mounds are just just hills at this point, but the visitor center details the story of the excavation and how the burial chambers were engineered. The rune stones are exemplary, considering they are over 1,000 years old. The writing on the stones mark the first time that the word Denmark was used, and also the conversion to Christianity. Both new to me. The visitor's center has a fantastic interactive display that makes it a must see place. The Church marks the burial spot of Gorm the Old with a silver marker in the floor.

Awsome Free Experience
Aloha ! This was well worth the visit. Not just for the two stones but also for the surroundings. The graveyard is beautifull and peacefull. I guess they keep it neat for the tourists ? The little church is nice to see as well and after we climbed up one of the mounds, we went to the museum. Unfortunatly not everything was in English and since we do not speak Danish we probably missed a few interesting things. Cheeeeeeeers Jecepede
