Gamla Uppsala: Högar Gamla Uppsala: Högar No Data

Description


The whole area is covered with burial sites, though the large mounds here stand out by being so much larger than the others. Over the centuries they've been used as a place for parliaments, speeches and protests - but today they are protected monument and fenced off to stop people walking over the top of them and wearing away the grass the holds the structures together. You can walk all the way round the edge of the mounds on a pathway (one half is flat and level, the other side behind the mounds is uneven and rocky) which has a number of interpretation boards along the way to tell you more about the site.
