One of many “talking” Stones

The Bocksten Man (Bockstensmannen), the remains of a medieval man's body, was found on this site. It's one of the best-preserved finds in Europe from that era and is exhibited at the Halland Museum of Cultural History.

Alfred Bexell (1831-1900) had words of wisdom and names carved on rocks and flat stones. There is said to be over 700 carvings. Bexell feared that the Swedish language would eventually be mixed with other languages and thereby be completely wiped out. It's a surreal, magical place, deep in the Toppbjärs Nature Reserve.

A parking lot and RV parking space are right next door. More information and opening times: https://www.naturumgetteron.se/

The crevice is approximately 100 meters long, ten meters deep, and 0.5-2.5 meters wide. It originated around 100 million years ago in a weak point in the rock. Over time, erosion and weathering have created the crevice.

The steep walls of Borrås Skåra, smoothed by an Ice Age meltwater stream, reach up to ten meters high at the deepest point of the gorge. The width varies between one and two meters, making the roughly one-hundred-meter-long gorge relatively easy to traverse. Only at the end of the gorge does one encounter an obstacle: a large boulder wedged between the rock walls. At about one and a half meters above the ground, the distance is sufficient to allow one to pass underneath it in a stooped position. According to legend, the fear that the boulder might fall while one is underneath it is unfounded. It will only fall, the story goes, once the last person on Earth has passed beneath it. A short distance further on, at the upper end of the gorge, one reaches a rocky plateau, which was likely used as a refuge during the Iron Age and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Within sight are, among other things, the historic farm Åkrabergs Ladugård, located only one kilometer away, and the adjacent nature reserve Åkrabergs Naturreservat.

At the upper exit of the gorge you reach a rocky plateau that was probably used as a location for a refuge castle in the Iron Age and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Within sight is, among other things, the historic farm Åkrabergs Ladugård, just one kilometer away, and the adjacent nature reserve Åkrabergs Nature Reserve.

The steep walls of the Borrås Skåra, smoothed by an Ice Age meltwater river, are up to ten meters high at the deepest part of the gorge. The width varies between one and two meters, so that you can walk through the approximately one hundred meter long gorge relatively easily.
