”Kongehøjen” is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved Stone Age graves we have in Denmark, which makes it worthy of its name.
Excavations in 1961, and the following restoration of the long dolmens, showed it was built in the middle of the New Stone Age, approx. 3.200 B.C. So it was erected long before Denmark became a real kingdom, which was during the Viking Period. The most interesting aspect of the long dolmen, is the almost undamaged stone chain (1) with a total of 62 stones along the foot of the mound, as well as the two very well-preserved tombs, which is hidden in the mound. A reason for the unique condition of the dolmen could be that it was listed already in 1892, and perhaps also because the stories say that it would bode ill for those who broke the stone chain or disturbed the area in any way,

Mariager, also known as the City of Roses, is an idyllic town with cobblestone streets and old half-timbered houses adorned with roses. The town has a rare urban environment in Denmark. Everything unfolds at a relaxed pace through the old cozy streets. There are no facades; everything is preserved in its original style and still in use.
Mariager is also one of Denmark's smallest market towns. Until the beginning of the 15th century, Mariager was just a small fishing village and ferry stop on the road between Randers and Aalborg. The establishment of the Birgittine Monastery around 1446 led to a tremendous growth in trade and craftsmanship, and in 1592, Mariager was granted market town rights.
On the charming square, you will find the atmospheric Hotel Postgården, whose oldest building dates back to the 18th century. When strolling around the square on a lovely summer day, you can almost always enjoy the scent of freshly baked waffles from Vaffelbageren. If you desire a delicious ice cream served in freshly baked waffles, this is worth a visit.
The town's and region's history is also told at the Mariager Museum and can be experienced firsthand in the impressive Monastery Church. Visit the Klosterhaven (Monastery Garden) across from the church or the brand-new Rosenhave (Rose Garden) with hundreds of different types of roses, right next to the old Munkholm facility, which also features a lovely nature playground.
In relation to its size, Mariager is well-equipped with specialty and grocery stores, fine dining establishments, cafes, and good accommodation options, as well as numerous attractions and sights worth exploring.

The history of Rebild Bakker National Park
In 1911 the area was bought by a group of Americans with Danish descent. The area was given to the Danish government in 1912, with the stipulation that a celebration must be held every year on the 4th of July, celebrating the friendship between Denmark and the US. The non-profit organization Rebild National Park Society inc., was founded to manage and direct the 4th of July celebrations in Rebild Bakker. The celebration has been held every year ever since 1912, except during the First World War and Second World War. You can read more about the 4th of July Celebrations which take place in the hills.
