Busene Have

On the south-eastern tip of Møn, around four kilometres east of Klintholm Harbour, lies Busene Have — an old coastal forest containing one of Denmark's richest landscapes of ancient monuments. In and around the forest are traces from almost the entire prehistoric period: a long barrow and ten protected burial mounds, probably from the Bronze Age, as well as standing stones and Viking graves. One of the best-known finds is a sacrificial well from the Late Bronze Age, around 500 BC, built in a hollowed-out alder trunk. On the western edge of the forest, atop the coastal cliff, also lies Brøndehøje Skanse, a redoubt built during the Swedish Wars in the 1600s. The forest lies dramatically along the coast with direct access to the beach, and the varied flora and untouched nature make the site an obvious destination for anyone wishing to experience prehistoric burial culture in an evocative natural landscape. The Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces has put up information boards about both the redoubt and the area's ancient monuments.
