Mogenstrup Ridge
The width is generally 200-400 meters, but may be up to 1 km.
The maximum width will find particular in åsens easternmost end, Stone Forest by Mogenstrup.
Mogenstrup Ridge is a typical Danish ridge in the sense that it follows the valley of a glacial valley Jungshoved-Mogenstrup southeast of the ridge.
The specificity of the ridge is the location between two distinct landforms.
Northeast of the ridge is a shallow morænebakkeland which rise 20-60 m above the sea, southwest of the ridge is a low-lying, slightly wavy moræneslette 5-15 m above sea level.
Ridge is situated along a prominent landscape border, which in reality is a randmorænestrøg with an anterior moor off from an older part of the last ice age.
Ridge was then brought precisely where meltwater flows broke through the older randmorænebakker and ran out of the anterior delete melt formed by tunnel and canal-ridge a character through Mogenstrup Ridge is also that the long distances has a flat top.
This means that it is formed under the open sky and not inside the ice.
Sectional sediments also show that the ridge as a whole is deposited in the "interlaced" smeltevandsløb who threw themselves into bundles down through the channel and constantly changed its bearing as the races were filled. When you see this åsbygning, one must imagine a system of rapid meltwater streams, thundering along in a wide channel is limited by ice walls.
A ridge formed in this way is called a kanalås after its formation in a channel with walls of dead ice or a planås after the flat top. We have each other ridges of this kind in Denmark, eg Sallinge Ridge on Fyn and litter Mountains in North Zealand. In a deeply incised in åsens deposits have, however, found traces of a common, but far less tunnelås. It reveals that the ridge in its first phase occurred in an icy tunnel in the bottom of the ice.
Kanalåsen with the gigantic dimensions and the flat top was not formed until later, when the tunnel roof below the ice melting had collapsed.
Åsens four sections The total Mogenstrup Ridge consists of four sections, located in a row, separated by distinct gaps.
Åsens southeastern part is called characteristically Stone Forest, and it initially consisted of several parallel ridges composed of coarse smetevandsaflejringer. After many years of intensive gravel extraction, the entire northern part of Stone Forest ridge removed. The southwestern flank will appear as nearly intact, and from this page you can clearly see the shape and dimensions of the original ridge.
Also details on the surface, sprinkle stone entries, etc. here is fairly pristine, since the area is covered by open high forest.
Flat Forest Hills is separated from Stone Forest by a deep ravine. Also Fladså Hills consists of several ridges, which reaches up to 50 meters above sea level. Gravel extraction has taken place in åsafsnittets northeastern flank. Further north was previously Løjedsbakker, but this section is now completely dug. Ridge here consisted of a single spine, 100-200 meters wide and 46 feet tall.
Madam's Plantation is a prominent, 300 m wide åsbakke northwest of Løjedsbakker. From a height of 52 meters lower spine evenly to the northwest with a level gravel surface, and this section of the ridge is therefore presented as the typical planås.
In the northwest end planåsen of irregular hills, where Bent head when 33 meters.
Water Tower Hill protrude markedly above Naestved and intersected by Ring Road.
The hill has an almost flat surface with a maximum height of 47 meters above sea level.

After an inspection tour of the area, we recommend sensible footwear, here are wheelchairs not impossible, there are tracks where you can run, but it is not advisable to embark on thethe trip ..
Do you have a good solid bike, possibly mountain bike, it is recommended to bring the
area here is a challenge, even as a pedestrian.
