Borgehoved at Rø Plantage
Borgehoved at the Lake Borgedalssøen in the Søndre Borgedal is an old fortress and refuge fort from the Iron Age.
There have never been made any excavations in the area, but since there were found rock carvings from the Bronze Age or even the Stone Age - it is assumed, that the fortress might be much older than first assumed. Some researchers assume, that the fortress never was finished.
