Bellman's Stones

Bellman's stones (also called Bellman's cave) are called a group of shifting blocks in the Sätraskogen nature reserve in the district of Bredäng in southern Stockholm. Bellman's stones are located next to Hälsan's path, the promenade by Mälaren, below Villa Lyran. It is a group of shifting blocks that the last ice age has left behind. Some blocks lean against each other and form a small cave. According to tradition, Carl Michael Bellman (Swedish poet) must have hidden here from his creditors. Another tradition says that shortly after the Ice Age, the stones were erected by a newly married couple and that they would then become their first home. The natural object is an ancient relic with RAÄ number Brännkyrka 243:1. Bellman's stones were recorded together with the Jakobsberg–Lyran–Petersberg area as natural monument no. 11 in botanist Rutger Sernander's natural and cultural monuments of the Stockholm region from 1935. The stones, however, are not declared as natural monuments according to the environmental code.//Wikipedia
