Hvedshøj is a prominent Bronze Age burial mound measuring about 45 metres across and six metres high. An excavation in 1862 uncovered a gold-plated bronze sword. Visitors can access the mound, where an information board explains its history. A grassy path continues approximately 350 metres west to a viewing tower. The paths cross private land, and dogs must be kept on a lead.
