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.

Log Text: The stone circle is (as you can see in my pictures) in the middle of a cattle meadow and is therefore not always easily accessible. But otherwise a nice place on the way up from the runestone.

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.

Huenensteine Thuine submitted by RunaStera on 9th Apr 2004. Großsteingrab in der Kunkenvenne

First excavtions were made by officers of Napoleon I. Some stones lowered but in 1824 A.D. stones brought back in their originally position.
In the stonegrave were found stonehatch...
