About this experience

The Long Barrow at Kettingskov is an ancient burial site located on the island of Funen in Denmark. Dating back to the Neolithic period, it is one of the oldest monuments in the country.

The barrow is a large, rectangular mound, measuring approximately 25 metres long and 8 metres wide. It is believed to have been used as a communal burial site for several generations of a single family.

Today, the barrow is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors the chance to explore the site and learn about its history. The barrow is surrounded by a beautiful landscape of rolling hills and lush green meadows, making it a great spot for a picnic or a leisurely stroll.

Visitors can also take a guided tour of the barrow, which includes information about its history and the archaeological finds that have been discovered there.
