Dansk:
Højdedraget, hvorpå Vorbjerg Høje ligger, har
været anvendt til gravplads fra slutningen af yngre stenalder
til slutningen af ældre jernalder. Størstedelen af
gravhøjene i området stammer sandsynligvis fra den
ældre bronzealder (ca. 1800-1000 f. kr.). Af højene er
Møgelbjerg den højeste og når 109 meter over
havet.
Store gravhøje var vanlige i ældre bronzealder, hvor
den døde blev lagt ubrændt i en kiste, rigt udstyret
med personlige ejendele. Både bronzevåben og pragtfulde
smykker i bronze og guld er blevet fundet i danske gravhøje.
De regnes for at være blandt de fremmeste i Europa fra denne
periode.
Gallowaykvæg græsser på højene og
sørger for, at den storslåede udsigt bliver
bevaret.
Området er åbent for publikum, men der henstilles fra
officielt hold, at færdsel begrænses til den markerede
sti og området lige omkring højene.
English:
The heights upon which Vorbjerg Høje lies, has been used as
burial grounds from the end of early stone age to the end of older
iron age. The majority of the burial mounds in the area probably
arise from the older bronze age (approx. 1800-1000 before christ).
Of the mounds Møgelbjerg is the highest and reaches 109
meters above sea level.
Large burial mounds were common in the older bronze age where the
deceased was laid unburned in a coffin richly supplied with
personal belongings. Both bronze weapons and wonderful jewelry in
bronze and gold has been found in Danish burial mounds and are
considered among the best in Europe from this age.
Galloway cattle grazes the mounds making sure that the magnificent
view is maintained.
The area is open to the public, but it is suggested that you limit
your travels to the marked path and the area immediately around the
mounds.
