Krømlinge 1

In the field, in the remains of an approximately 0.9 m high hill, lies the excavated rectangular dolmen , which is formed from four large stones, in the middle of which a tree protrudes from the chamber. All four bearing stones are the same height. The chamber is 1.8 m long, 0.9 m wide and 1.5 deep. The curbs of the round hill and the capstone are missing. 55 ° 13 ′ 1 ″ N, 11 ° 54 ′ 21 ″ E! 511.9059555555.2168915

Krømlinge 2

Krømlinge 2 is located on Krømlingevej in a 3.0 m high hill, surrounded by a very irregular, damaged stone circle. Of the large stones that surround the dolmen, some are missing that had to make way for the road that lies behind the cairn. 11 stones are presumably largely preserved in situ . Many larger and smaller stones lie on the surface of the hill. It is noticeable that only one gangstone has been preserved in the southeast. There is no trace of the second. The chamber is a large stone- box-shaped dolmen formed by four uneven bearing stones (two are large and thick, two are small and thin) and a large, forward-protruding capstone . The visible depth is 1.2 m, but the bottom must be about 0.3 m deeper. Three bearing stones are the same height, the fourth, on the narrow side in the southeast, is lower than the others as an entrance. Although the mound and stone circle are somewhat irregular, they must be viewed as a serious monument. 55 ° 13 ′ 11 ″ N, 11 ° 54 ′ 23 ″ E! 511.9063895555.2198295

The Langdysse of Krømlinge (also called Nørre Tvede ) is nearby at Toksværd. 55 ° 13 '14 "N, 11 ° 54' 11" E! 511.9031235555.2205465
