Stora Rör

Stora Rör or Höga Rör is a large burial cairn from the Bronze Age. The cairn has been damaged and rearranged by past treasure seekers and a large pit is visible in the middle, but it remains an impressive monument.

Stora Rör is now surrounded by woodland, but during the Bronze Age the landscape looked different. Back then Småland was covered with predominantly deciduous forest and pine on poor soil. You can see from the elevation curves on a map that this would have been a typical vantage point.
