In The Footsteps Of The Vikings - Sweden
The Viking Age has left its mark on Nynashamn. There are as many as 27 rune stones in the municipality, which makes it one of the muncipalities with the most rune stones in Sweden. Several of these rune stones are along the old road between Djursnas and Vansta, the so-called Runestensvagen ("the rune stone road")
There are grave-fields, as this was a densely populated district during Iron Age. The cultural landscape is strikingly beautiful. A suggestion to enhance your excursion is to visit the beautiful churches in Osmo and Sorunda or discover the mysticism surrounding the authentic beacon on Vardkaseberget, which also offers magnificent views over Himmerfjarden. Runstensvagen is best followed in your own car.
Nynashamn Tourist Information Office will provide you with a map and more detailed information on where the different remains can be found. We can also help you hire a car.
