South of the village of Røddinge lies Klekkendehøj, a relatively rare double passage grave. Each of the two separate burial chambers has its own entrance. The passages leading to them are seven metres long, low and narrow. The site is thus defined both by its division into two parts and by the specific dimensions of its entrances.

In the area around Røddinge, Kong Asgers Høj is also one of Denmark’s largest and most beautiful passage graves; there, a dark passage leads into the burial chamber. Two different architectural features therefore take centre stage: at Klekkendehøj, the structure with two chambers; at Kong Asgers Høj, the dark passage to the burial chamber.

Meadowland with a long history

Røddinge Sø is part of a meltwater valley that runs south of Røddinge and reaches Ulvsund. After drainage works in the late 19th century, Røddinge Sø was transformed into damp meadowland. The valley contains extensive areas of meadow and marsh, which are among the landscape’s most important natural areas. Here, the valley’s geomorphological form, human intervention in the landscape and today’s wetlands come together.

Marienborgstenen offers a sweeping view south across the meadow area known as Røddinge Sø. The viewpoint thus links a specific direction of view with the history of the valley’s landscape. Visitors looking around will encounter not only the name Røddinge Sø, but also a landscape whose character has changed through drainage and its transformation into damp meadowland.

Finding your way around Marienborgstenen

From Røddinge, follow Røddingevej and then take the gravel road Sølbjergvej to reach Marienborgstenen. The stone is on private property belonging to Marienborg Gods, but it is visible from the public Sølbjergvej. Respect local access conditions and check them on site if necessary.

The Færgeetapen stage of the Camønoen passes very close to Marienborgstenen. The Camønoen is a 175-kilometre hiking route across Møn, Nyord and Bogø; the specific connection to the stone is via the Færgeetapen. If you plan to walk this stage, check the current route in advance, as route conditions can change. The 175 kilometres refer to the entire Camønoen, not just the Færgeetapen.

Village layout as cultural history

In the Sprove-Røddinge cultural environment, the arrangement of houses along the village street illustrates local history. Unlike a single burial monument, the historical evidence here lies in the settlement pattern: the position of the houses in relation to the village street is itself part of the local history passed down through generations. In Røddinge, different scales of discovery thus complement one another—from the design of individual passage graves and the landscape of the meltwater valley to the historic arrangement of the houses.
