Why Lindholm Høje matters
On a grassy hill above the Limfjord, hundreds of stones are arranged in the shapes of ships and ovals, marking graves from the Iron Age and Viking Age. It is a quiet, windy and atmospheric place with sweeping views toward the fjord. A small museum on site explains the people who were buried here and the settlement that lay beneath the sand.
