Child-friendly walks to the Hidden Stories of Langeland
Go on an adventure and discover the exciting stone dolmens, mysterious passage graves and the secret lost city - all in the beautiful nature of Langeland!
Langeland's unique landscape was formed during the last Ice Age more than 10,000 years ago. Many of the island's ancient monuments have been preserved thanks to Jens Winther, who founded Langeland Museum in 1900 and excavated a number of the island's ancient monuments - stone dolmens, passage graves and Viking burial sites with large finds of great archaeological value.
Trips from the double passage grave in Tvede Forest
From the rare double passage grave you can take a 1.8 km walk in the forest, a 5.6 km walk to Tranekær or a 7.4 km walk south to Stengade Skanse, which was built during the English wars (1807-14).
The 5.6 km route can also be done by bike, if you use the road and not the path through the forest.
