Here on Boeryds gravfält (Grave field of Boeryd), you can find 2 tri-radial cairns, 4 standing stones and 17 stone circles. The tri-radial cairns is 13-20 metres long, and 0,4 high, with the ends pointing at E-SSW-NNW and NE-SSE-WNW. The stone rings are 4-10 metres in diametre, consisting of 5 to 9 stones each. The site was restored in the 1930's. Swedish national heritage board site code: Månsarp 25:1 Info board on site with Swedish, English and German 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. |

Taberg was once a mining area, in the town you will pass a museum if you follow the site-directions. http://www.taberg.info/engelska/e_gruvan.asp A good spot to have a coffe break is on the top of the mountain in the town. Follow the site-directions, but when you have passed the railroad bridge, turn left after 160 metres, and follow the windling road to the top. There you will find a restaurant, and a marvellous view over the neighbourhood. http://www.tabergstoppen.se/ (In swedish, but there is an english link at the bottom of the page) |
