Legend has it that in 1645, towards the end of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), the Swedes marauded through the country and besieged Falkenberg Castle, on the opposite side of the valley, where many people had fled.
At this point, the leader of the Swedes Torstenson settled down to direct the attack. Whether it is the commander of the Swedish army Lennart Torstensson, who fought against the Danes in the Torstensson war (1643-45) and had just conquered Jutland, remains hidden forever in the fog of history.

Very nicely described, but actually the Swedish table is about 250m in the direction of SSE. I have created a new highlight with my GPS coordinates.
