A fantastic, architecturally beautiful shelter. Unfortunately, there's no fire pit, water, or toilet nearby. However, it's highly recommended as an architectural highlight; overnight accommodation for two people is possible.

The church itself has a history that stretches back to the 13th century, with significant renovations over the years. However, what makes this stop particularly special is the well-preserved runestone from the Viking Age. I think you'll appreciate seeing this tangible link to a bygone era right there in the churchyard.
