View point in Føvling
Distance: 17.40 Km
On the southern edge of the village of Føvling, there is an old burial mound which, as the name suggests – Bavnehøj – has been used for bonfires in ancient times. Today, from the top of the hill, you will find a fantastic view over the flat and wide Kongeådal to the south.
The burial mound is located on the edge of a small green oasis in the city, which can be accessed from the street Ved Bavnen. There is a well-marked path to the hill. With its 58 m above sea level, there is a good view. The mound itself has a fairly vertical side to the north, as part of the mound has been dug away. A field divide runs through the mound. In 1908, they wanted to put a flagpole on top of the mound, but ran into stones when they wanted to dig down the plinth. It turned out to be a cover stone for a burial chamber, which was empty.
A set of tables and benches has been set up at the foot of the hill, and in season there are both apples and blackberries to pick.
