I used to sled ride here as a kid. Visited with my family and our kids (9 yrs. and 7 yrs. old) loved running around and exploring. I nice break from other activities and the history of this place cannot be underestimated. Stop by for a short visit 30-60 mins if you are in the vicinity and it is nice weather outside. You will not be disappointed.
One of my favorite things in Vasteras. The raised hill is an area containing both Anundshög and other interesting attractions. It's a nice walk.
This is a lovely site, unspoiled by tourist tat and with helpful and informative signage. Recommended if you're in Vasteras or nearby.
This ancient viking burial mound and stone ship meeting place is interesting and well presented with good english descriptions. We visited because we had time before a flight into Västerås airport and it is a perfect stop for an hour or so. There is a cafe but closed on Mondays so we could not try it.
I really enjoyed walking around this area. The signs are in English, Swedish and German. It is a bit outside the city, but the busses are really easy to use. It was fun to walk around, and almost step back in time. The cafe is also lovely, with great service. There is a biking path that goes from the city, and is about 6 km. Bring a lunch, and picnic by ancient stones!
the largest of its kind in Sweden and a good Place to feel the history of Sweden. I Went there in the sunset time in the summer time, quiet and only me and my wife. We climbed up the top of the mound and there we had impressive view of the farming field, Little village. The stones and runes are standing there silently but telling us a lot of stories happening in the history.
When taking photos of Viking standing stones you really don't need a black metal litter bin in the photo. OR a great big wooden picnic bench. We had to position ourselves so the bench was obscured by our bodies.The place was very clean and well cared for and easily accessible. Obviously the burial mound is NOT wheelchair accessible. Signposting was not that good as it kept disappearing. There was a sign for it then there was junction and NO sign. Luckily we had sat nav. It was good to see it from the top of the mound; you get a real feel for the size and the shapes.
A great place to take overseas guests. The site not only has the ancient burial ground but also a bit of horticulture from the period. Lots of signs with information in several languages. For locals a great place to picnic if you dont want to be near water or crowds
This historical site really suprised me. First of all it is free of charge and exceptionally easy to get to. There are a number of informative signs to guide you through and also a little cafe to have a snack. You must walk to the top of the large burial mound, that is when it become truly impressive!
An ancient place in Västerås since the vikings . Nice place to visit. You can see sentences by vikings written on stones
