Kiviksgraven
HISTORIC SITE
(Kungagraven; 0414-703 37; adult/child Skr25/free; 10am-6pm mid-May-Aug; )
Believed to be a site of ancient human sacrifice, Kiviksgraven is Sweden's largest Bronze
Age grave, dating from around 1000 BC. It's an extraordinary shield-like cairn, about 75m
in diameter, which once contained a burial cist and eight engraved slabs. What you see in-
side are replicas; the tomb was looted in the 18th century.
The on-site cafe sells delicious sweet treats like raspberry crumble.
