Snäckedals Grave Field
Snäckedals is a notable grave field located north of Snäckedal farm in Misterhults parish near Oskarshamn. This burial ground is dated to the Bronze Age, containing 26 ancient remains, and is one of the biggest of this kind to be found in Sweden. Back in the ancient times it was probably an important ritual and…
Birding Journal #1 – Lövö
Sub zero temperatures, powdery snow and sun filled days put me in a great mood since usual winter weather conditions in Malmö are quite gloomy. This Sunday we took a stroll around Lövö Nature reserve which provided us with a much needed dose of vitamin D and plenty bird watching opportunities. Unfortunately Lövö lacks any…
Stenstuan in 35mm
The area between Gladsax and Baskemölla is a distinct ancient landscape that is abundant in burial sites from different eras. One of them is located on a hill behind Rosdala Farm. The very much unique Stenstuan – a passage grave from the Stone Age. Stenstuan was erected during the Farmer’s Stone Age and was used…
Ekornavallen
As soon as we installed ourselves in Skövde, we drove up here after a day long drive down from Bollnäs. Just in time for the sunset. Last warm rays of sunlight made the grass turn copper; swarms of flies became fairy dust. As I was walking around the meadow a pair of birds kept me…
Söderslätt: Burial Mound Folklore
Brytestuhög Last summer we often indulged ourselves with late afternoon rides around south-west Skåne. Whenever we rode, I’ve always noticed a mound with a lone tree in the distance. It always popped up over the fields and then quickly dipped again only to reemerge again few moments later. It didn’t matter from which direction we…
Megalithic Walk around Västra Kävlinge
This was quite an ambitious route I’ve planned. Early in the morning I took a bus up to Bärsebackshamn and slowly, but surely, walked myself back to Kävlinge’s train station. The whole walk was 18,5 km long. In retrospect it could have been much shorter since I’ve not made it to Ljunghög. Tricky access, an…
Spring Equinox ’21 – The Road Trip
Last Thursday we decided to rent a car and go on a day trip in order to celebrate my incoming birthday and spring equinox. We might actually turn it into a quarterly road trip tradition. Equipped with snacks, we leave the city early morning and head north-east towards Ringsjön lake. The morning sun looks promising,…
Megalithic Walk around Gantofta
It’s been a year since my trip to Gantofta and I think the time has come to write about it. All those months I’ve kept saving it for later, hoping the memories would age like a fine wine, but instead they’ve started to wither. It’s really hard now to excavate the whole experience intact from…
Autumn Equinox ’20 – Österlen
A week after my day trip to Smygehuk my parents-in-law drove down and took us for a road trip around Österlen. It’s one of my favorite memories from last year. We drove along the road number 9. It’s a smaller coastal road perfect for cruising and enjoying the view of the Baltic Sea. We had…
