Broskovvejen
📍 Broskovvejen, 4640 Faxe
One of Denmark's best-preserved ancient roads, located approximately 5 km north-west of Præstø. The almost 70-metre-long and 3.5-metre-wide paving was laid during the Late Roman Iron Age (300–400 AD) to make it possible to cross a wet ford over Hulebækken. On top of the Iron Age road lies a somewhat less carefully built medieval road. The road was discovered in 1949 during drainage work, excavated by the National Museum, and is today a listed ancient monument — cleared in 2009 so the stonework is again visible. A footpath leads the last approximately 260 metres out to the road.
