Discover Røddinge

Get to know Røddinge through the area's passage graves and the landscape around Røddinge Sø. The burial sites display different architectural features; meadows, bogland and the meltwater valley offer insight into the history of the landscape. Marienborgstenen adds another point of reference, with a view over the meadows and a road route from Røddinge.

Passage graves and their architectural features

Klekkendehøj lies south of the village of Røddinge and is a relatively rare double passage grave. The site has two separate burial chambers, each with its own entrance. The passages are also easy to distinguish: each leads to one of the chambers, and they are seven metres long, low and narrow. If you are interested in the architecture of passage graves, you will find several specific features here that together help explain the site.

Near Røddinge, Kong Asgers Høj is one of Denmark's largest and most beautiful passage graves. A dark passage leads into the burial chamber. Compared with the two separate chambers and entrances at Klekkendehøj, the passage is a striking feature here. The two sites thus offer different architectural points of reference if you would like to make the area's passage graves a focus of your stay.

Røddinge Sø and the landscape

Following drainage works in the late 19th century, Røddinge Sø was turned into wet meadowland. The landscape's history is therefore also a story of change: the area became a meadow, stretching south from the viewpoint at Marienborgstenen. The meltwater valley, which includes Røddinge Sø, runs south from Røddinge to Ulvsund.

The meltwater valley around the drained Røddinge Sø contains extensive meadow and bogland areas. They are among the landscape's most important natural areas. Meadows, bogland and the valley represent different aspects of the same landscape: the changes following the drainage works describe its history, while the meadows and bogland shape its present-day character.

Marienborgstenen is on private land belonging to Marienborg Gods, but can be seen from the public Sølbjergvej road. Respect the access conditions and check them locally. From Røddinge, the road route follows Røddingevej and the gravel road Sølbjergvej towards Marienborgstenen. This lets you consider the road directions and the public view over the meadow together, while bearing in mind that the site is on private land.

Camønoen and the village landscape

The Færgeetapen stage of the Camønoen passes very close to Marienborgstenen. The Camønoen is a 175-kilometre walking route across Møn, Nyord and Bogø. These details serve two different purposes for navigation: the proximity to the stone relates to the Færgeetapen, while the overall distance and route describe the trail across the three islands. As route conditions can change, it is a good idea to check the latest information about the trail before planning.

The Sprove-Røddinge cultural environment also offers a distinct perspective on the village's history. The arrangement of houses along the village street illustrates this history. This is not about a single burial monument or meadow, but about the relationship between the village street, the houses and the history of the place.

When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between different areas of interest: the separate burial chambers at Klekkendehøj, the dark passage at Kong Asgers Høj, the landscape around Røddinge Sø, or the road and route directions at Marienborgstenen. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Røddinge, these topics can help you decide what to focus on during your trip.
