The Håga Mound, or King Björn’s Mound, is a fascinating historical site to visit. Measuring about 50 metres in diameter and 7 metres high, it is a Bronze Age burial mound—around 3,000 years old—belonging to a powerful chieftain. The grave goods discovered here are among the finest from the Nordic Bronze Age. The mound is popularly known as King Björn’s Mound, named after a legendary Svea king said to have lived and ruled in Håga during the Viking Age. According to legend, he is buried within the mound.
South of the Håga Mound lies a smaller burial ground with round stone settings and mounds from the Iron Age, and nearby are the remains of two Bronze Age cult houses. Bring along a picnic basket and settle down on the rocky outcrops in the flower-rich meadow. If you look closely at the rocks, you can see the scratches left by the inland ice long ago.
