The Tollund Man's finding place
The Tollund Man is the naturally mummified corpse of a man who lived during the 4th century BCE, during the period characterised in Scandinavia as the Pre-Roman Iron Age.
The Tollund Man was found in 1950, buried in a peat bog which preserved his body. The man's physical features were so well-preserved that he was mistaken at the time of discovery for a recent murder victim. Twelve years before Tollund Man's discovery, another bog body, Elling Woman, had been discovered in the same bog.
You can park at Bølling Sø car park South. However, please note that there is approximately 800 metres of hilly terrain and therefore not suitable for wheelchairs and prams.
