Thanks for this sitepage and pictures Bjorn, but I am not sure I have got the right positional coordinates for it - I found a village called Svennaby on Multimap and used that - is it the correct village ?

    You can find it on Hitta.se. Click on karta (map) and zoom in on Gothenburg, then Säve Airport, just north of Gothenburg. Northeast of the airport you'll find Svenneby and south of that Äspet along the road Svensbyvägen.

    Much better is to go to Eniro.se and click on Kartor (Maps) on the top row. You can switch on GPS-koordinater in the top left of the screen.

    For Queen Hacka's Grave they are: *Lat: N 57º 47' 37.23" *Long: E 11º 55' 59.11"
