Ale stenar – approx. 30 min along the east coast line you will find the Ale’s Stones which is a mystical monument consisting of 59 massive stones arranged in an oval (a Swedish twist of Stonehedge). The monument was erected around 1 400 years ago in the iron age but still, it’s unclear by whom or why. The site also has magnificent views of the coastline and is located in a small fishing village, Kåseberga.
