Lyø Dolmen, 2008.
Op het eiland Lyø, ten zuiden van Fyn, ligt dit hunebed. Ook wel 'Klokkestenen' genoemd.
Once, long ago, about 52 barrows and dolmens lay on Lyø. Today, only 5 of them remain intact. The dolmens were used as burial chambers for the leading figures on Lyø society as well as their families. The largest and best preserved, The Bell Stone, a dolmen chamber from between 3500-3100 BC, lies on a 20 m high hill on the west side of the island. From here there is a fine view of the Little Belt, Horneland and Lyø Trille.
