Some of the stone rings can be seen in GE (between the trees).


How to get there:
From highway E4, take the exit at Torsvik N (about 7 kilometres south of Jönköping)
and drive westwards to the town Taberg.
In Taberg, turn right in the T-shaped roundabout, drive 300 metres and
then turn left and go under the railroad bridge. After 3 kilometres on this road
there is a sign "Boerydsgravfältet" pointing to the right, and a few metres into the forest there
is a parking sign. Park there and the site is in front of you.
