Viking Stone Circle: This Viking stone circle has been here since about 700 AD. It may be an ancient grave site. It is just on the outskirts of Odensbacken. The word Odensbacken means "The Hill of Oden". Oden was the biggest Nordic god in Viking mythology.

Loom: This was a typical loom for creating cloth in Viking times. A Viking woman's dowry consisted of her bedclothes, a loom, and a bed. The duty of the wife (generally married between ages 12-15) was to run the house, make butter, cheese, dried and smoked fish and meat, and have knowledge about herbs to make medicine. She had the duty to run the farm when her husband was out on trading tours, raids, or hunting trips.

Jonathan making leather pouch: We ended our visit with a bit of craft making. Par showed Jonathan how to make a leather pouch to keep an assortment of small items in.

Thank you, Par for being such a great tour guide. And, next we hopped into the car for a trip to Goteborg, aka Gothenburg.

After leaving Mockelmossen, we drove toward the southernmost tip of Oland.

Random Rune Stones: We drove by Viking graves all throughout the island. You can see the undulating ground where several graves were located here.
