The Groennesse Dolmen Karlsstenen - Karl's Stone or Carl's Stone - Neolithic - in the Groennesse Woods km east of the town centre of Hundested
The Grønnesse Dolmen Karlsstenen (Karl's stone) at the Grønnessegaard estate (image id EYRY06) in the Grønnesse Woods about 4 km east of Hundested. Karlsstenen is one of the largest dolmens in Denmark. Dolmens are our oldest stone-built burial places built in the Neolithic (later stone age) 5000-6000 years ago. The chamber consists of a few upright megaliths covered by one or two large stones. The chambers were partly hidden by a surrounding mound of large stones.
