Rune stone

Rokstenen
it's quite a big one
On our way down to Jonkoping we stopped off at a rather massive rune stone in the grounds of a church. It's known as Rokstenen and has the world's longest rune inscription. It's located between Granna and Motala near Lake Vatten and for more information click on this link .

Nearby was the lovely Heda Church which has a beautiful Madonna statue and two massive rune stones placed in the external walls.
