In the western part there are six prehistoric monuments, five dolmens (Danish: Rund- or Langdysser) and a small passage grave on a marked hiking trail . The forest is part of the pilot project “Kongernes Nordsjælland National Park”. Many of the curb stones of the megalithic beds and several capstones are in situ and there are bowls on several of the capstones .
The mostly intact megalithic systems of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development.
