    They also consist of a total of 59 stones placed vertically in the shape of a ship's hull. Measured against the usual ship setting in Sweden, which occurs quite frequently, Ales Stenar has enormous dimensions with a length of 67 meters and a width of 19 meters. The two stones that represent the bow and stern are each about three meters high and about twice the height of the other stones. The weight of the individual stones is between 500 and 1,800 kg.

        The Kåseberga Stonehenge (better known as "Ales stenar" or "Ale stenar" / German "The Stones of Ale")) consists of 59 stones (which look like the Hinkelsteine ​​of Obelix) and is located directly on a hill about 37 meters high the Baltic Sea coast near Kåseberga in the south of Sweden. The coastline is characterized by a steep drop off to the sea edge.
        The 0.5 to 1.8-ton stones are arranged in the form of a ship. The approximately three-meter-high steven stones of the bow and stern are the largest, the height of the stones decreases from there to the center.
        You should definitely take a look! Enjoy nature!
