Böksta Backe submitted by SolarMegalith on 13th Sep 2016. The horseman with spear might be Odin with his spear Gungnir, but the horse has only four legs, unlike eight-legged Sleipnir, the horse of Odin in Norse mythology (photo taken on August 2016).

Ales stenar submitted by cereus on 19th Feb 2004. A neolithic sunship (3.300 - 3.600 BC). The most southern part of Sweden by the sea. There is much to read about it <a href="http://www.alesstenar.com/"> here</a>

Log Text: Absolutely impressive. There is not much more to say about this site. The location by the sea, the size, everything gives the impression of a mystical place.

Rökstenen submitted by Meginring on 18th Feb 2007. The four metric tonne Rökstenen is decorated with some 800 runes, carved on all sides and also on the top. It is the longest and most intricate runic inscription known in the world today.

Log Text: Because of the size and the length of the written rune text, it is probably the most impressive rune stone I have seen so far. A really detailed information center is just near the stone by the south of the church.

Log Text: The rock carvings have been well preserved here and with the wonderful landscape in the background as a panorama, the visit is really an experience. However, the route to the carvings is a bit hidden and only signposted for the last few meters. However, a parking lot is available.

Log Text: Beautifully preserved stone cist nestled in the middle of a forest. The path is quite hidden and more of a small path. By car you drive more on bumpy slopes than roads.

Aspeberget submitted by greywether on 16th Jul 2005. This is described as a solar symbol being carried by two women. (In Swedish rock art, women are identified by their "pony tails".)

Log Text: The sheer number of rock carvings is overwhelming in this case. I was a bit wondering if there were more such carvings hidden under the ground.

Massleberg Passage Grave submitted by greywether on 25th Sep 2005. View from the N. The entrance is actually on the other side of the view - this is a missing side stone of the chamber. The capstone is cupmarked (which I missed!).

Log Text: Just beautiful rock carvings from the Bronze Age. There is parking just off the road, but it's best to rely on your GPS (road is pretty bad).
