Prehistory and runestone in the wider area

The verified local reference names Rævehøj as a prehistoric site with a passage grave about 3.5 kilometres south of Ornum. Rævehøj is therefore in the nearby area and not in Ornum itself.

Also about 3.5 kilometres east of Ornum, the Gørlev 2 runestone is mentioned. The two references point to a prehistoric monument and a runestone in the wider area. If you take these places into account when planning, you should check their exact location and current access yourself.

Classifying the place name when choosing accommodation

A stay designated Ornum is to be regarded as a location-based stay in the Kalundborg area; the wider region provides the visitor context. Those interested in Rævehøj or the Gørlev 2 runestone should check the location and access of the named sites independently of the accommodation before finalizing their plans.
