Gasse Høje lies several km east of Skaerbaek near the west coast. It is home to 27 large burial mounds, mostly grouped around the hill's highest points and visible from a long distance. However, the interiors of the mounds were badly damaged in olden times and during fortification work in both World Wars. They were returned to their former state after World War 2.

On one of the larger Bronze Age mounds, there is a tower that is a typical geodesic tower. As you follow the path, you will eventually come to a cist grave from the single grave culture that has been excavated. The large capstone over the chamber lies beside the grave.
