Ales Stenar

Ales Stenar is the site of Sweden's largest preserved stone ship.  The ship consists of 59 boulders in the form of a 67 metre long, 19 metre wide ship.
It is believed the boulders was erected during 500-1000 AD. 

The stones work as a guide to the Summer and Winter Solstice, and calender.  It is an amzaing formation of rocks.  We listened to the guide give a talk in Swedish, (so not much was understood), but we were able to get the gist of what he was talking about, when he was pointing to the different rocks and the sun.
