The Jelling Monuments
The village of Jelling is home to Europe’s most striking Viking Age monuments: two large barrows and two rune stones erected by kings Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth.

The Barrow of the Egtved Girl
The barrow contained some of Denmark’s best preserved Bronze Age archaeological finds. The barrow is a reconstruction and the small museum relates the story of the grave.

The Ravning Bridge
In the meadows of Ravning you find two reconstructed bridgeheads from the mighty valley bridge that King Harald Bluetooth constructed in Vejle Ådal in 979 AD. Visitor’s centre.

Munkenes Teglovn (medieval brick kiln), Vejle 
The ruins of the brick kiln constructed by Black Friars in the 1300s, which supplied the red brick used to build their Dominican monastery.

Store Rygbjergstenen (rune stone), Frederikshåb
The runic inscription on the Rygbjerg Stone has been called Denmark’s first love poem. The rune stone stands on a small barrow.

Troldborg Ring (Bronze Age fortress), Ravning 
The ring fortress Troldborg Ring was constructed in 100-200 BC surrounded by ramparts and a moat. It lies 70 metres above the valley Vejle Ådal.

Trindvold/Trindhøj (Viking Age fortress), Brejning
The old castle mounds mark the vestiges of a Viking Age fortification, which offered protection from hostile sea attacks.

Firehøje and Kong Rans Høj (barrows), Randbøl 
The moorland area takes its name from the four Bronze Age barrows. Legend has it that a local king was buried in the Kong Rans Høj.

The Barrows by Skærup
A barrow from the Stone Age and one from the Bronze Age, both of which were originally located by the village of Tårup.
