Kivik Tomb
The drive here is worth the journey, as it takes you through fields planted with fruit, mainly pears and apples, and to the little village of Kivik, where the cider is said to taste better than anywhere else in Scandinavia.
Discovered in 1748, this remarkable find, Sweden's most amazing Bronze Age relic, is north of Simrishamn along the coast of Kivik. In a 1931 excavation, tomb furniture, bronze fragments, and some grave carvings were uncovered. Eight floodlighted runic slabs depict pictures of horses, a sleigh, and what appears to be a fun-loving troupe of dancing seals.
