On the top of the hill at Vårdkasberget in Sorunda, you will find a gravröse, a type of cairn. It is a prehistory grave. On it stands this "vårdkase". Or phryctoria. Used to relay messages back in the day when there was an imminent danger. It must have been quite a sight back when the Vikings sailed up and down the Himmerfjärden bay here one thousand years ago. This one is four meters high, it is the only one in the greater Stockholm area. I will show you more of the view from up here tomorrow.
