Standing Stones in Öland
On a long hill surrounded by bushes, part of it preserved as a natural sanctuary (pentangle shape), between the villages of Algutsrum and Jorgtorp. There seem to be several archeological sites around the hill. Most of the stones in this monument are still standing, although some are now recumbent. The path to this site starts at the southern edge (56.67893N,16.58072) of Jorgtorp (L-shaped corner with a windmill). There is another path from Holmetorp hamlet between Algutsrum and Jorgtorp.
