Gräsgård Harbour

Southeastern Sweden


On the east coast, about 5km north of Eketorp, Gräsgårds Fiskehamn is somewhat smelly little fishing harbour where a vendor sells fish and chips. A little further north, there’s an 11th-century rune stone at Seby, and in Segerstad there are standing stones, stone circles and over 200 graves.
