Ale's Stones at Kåseberga
(it's around ten kilometres south east of Ystad)

Ales stenar is a megalithic monument in southern Sweden. It consists of a ship out of stone 67 meters long formed build by 59 large boulders of sandstone.

One indicates that the material is around 5,500 years old whereas the remaining six indicate a date about 1,400 years ago. The latter is considered to be the most likely time for Ales Stenar to have been created.

It's directly at the coastline and a wunderfull place. I've been there several times. If you are near by, don't miss to go there.

Hello Daniel, yes do that. It's just the end of the road there. You look from the hill direct over the baltic sea. I will have a look for more pics, but to see it by your self is much more better.

Yesterday I look at a DVD from Kurt Wallander series: The Courier, a school class walk through the Stonehenge of Ystad. Didn't know there was a look-like somewhere else in the world. So, when I'm lucky an can visit the south of Sweden in autumn I will visit the Stonehenge of Ystad. Thanks for the info.
