Out on a drive in Södertälje with one of the usual suspects we drove up the hill overlooking the Järnafjärden bay. On the top of that hill, you have a great view of the surroundings, especially from that bench. The heavily damaged runestone on the second photo can be seen at the Ytterjärna cemetery. Made from sandstone. As per usual by the church people back in the day, they used it as a stair stone! And because of that, you can't read the runic inscription, but it is possible that it mentions someone traveling to the Byzantine empire. Which means that it could be one of the 30 known Greece Runestones. Restored back in 2010 by the RAÄ. The church itself dates back 900 years, it was tricky to shoot and in the end I photographed it as a panorama, so it is thirteen photos stitched together. The property to the left on the last photo is called Pilsberg and this is the road we arrived on. There are a few interesting trails here including the 13 km long Ekoleden, the much shorter Nibbleleden, and the 12 km Kustleden, chanses are that I will walk them later in the year.

The church is quite impressive.
I don't seem to have much energy at the moment Steffe, sitting enjoying the view from that bench would suit me just fine :)
That view from the bench is perfect. I'd enjoy a rest there.
That is a great looking church!
A place with a long history. The church is beautiful.
