rennafire visited on 16th Jun 2014 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 4 Easy enough to find: Tibble is down along a country road near Anundshög, on the other side of the road. Walk past a couple farm houses to a well-marked path and short staircase (I didn't see handicap access). Tibble is in less than pristine condition - some stones are out of place and many are well-sunken, so walking it accurately means some guess-work. But the ambiance of the location - calm, private, birdsong - was powerful. Take the #23 bus from the Västerås station.

Tibble labyrinth
Tibble labyrinth submitted by cereus : The incredible maze at Tibble, situated high on a ridge, is believed to have been used in the fertility cults of the goddess Skädja and later Ull (god) and Njärd/Härn/Frigg (goddesses). A labyrinth is also called "Trojeborg" or "Jungfrudans". Jungfru = virgin which gives a hint of what a maze was used for. (Vote or comment on this photo)

This does *look* like a turf maze - cut into the grass - but that's only because what we see most clearly in many pictures is the grass. It's growing up between (and obscuring) an estimated 2000-3000 embedded stones. Tibble is a stone labyrinth, near the Anundshög mounds and standing stones.
Thanks,
Renna Shesso
