Lindholm Høje II | Nørresundby, Denmark
From Wednesdays walk in fresh air during the Corona Crisis!
Although the burial ground at Lindholm Høje has only been known since the 1950's, it has quickly become Denmark's most famous cemetery.
On a slope overlooking the Limfjord lie about 700 graves for people who lived here until storms a thousand years ago covered both fields and graves with sand.
The burial ground covers the entire period during which the Viking Age and Denmark as a country grew, as people are buried on the mounds from about 400 years in the Iron Age and until the turn of the millennium around the period when Sweyn Forkbeard was the king of Denmark.
